Kmad Posted July 19, 2024 Report Posted July 19, 2024 Hi, can anyone tell me if this is a Japanese character Thanks in advance. Ken Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 20, 2024 Report Posted July 20, 2024 Are you asking if that is Chinese or Japanese? Chinese characters were used throughout the Far East, including in Korea and Japan. It is hard to say in this case whether the writing style is one of the other, taken out of context like this. The context might help us decide. 4 Quote
Kmad Posted July 20, 2024 Author Report Posted July 20, 2024 Hi, the character is written on the shaft of these and I am wondering of these are spears as I don't recognise the shape, thanks. Ken Quote
ROKUJURO Posted July 20, 2024 Report Posted July 20, 2024 The wood looks like palm wood or Wenge. I have not seen this being worked with in Asia, but what do I know? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 21, 2024 Report Posted July 21, 2024 "On the shaft of these" you say, but the tops and bottoms are cut off, so we cannot see from those photos what 'these' are. If they are wooden spears, why would there be a single character saying 'metal' (or 'gold')? Quote
Kmad Posted July 21, 2024 Author Report Posted July 21, 2024 I bought the items so I will have better pics soon, thanks for help so far Quote
