zanilu Posted June 19 Report Posted June 19 Dear All There exist a translation of the Kaga Kinko Taikan? Is it available? Thank you in advance. Regards Luca Quote
Curran Posted June 19 Report Posted June 19 As far as I know, -there is no English translation. It is one of my favorite books outside of my primary interest in Owari and Higo tsuba. I own a few Kaga Goto pieces and hope to travel to that part of Japan in October 2025 or 2026. Quote
zanilu Posted June 19 Author Report Posted June 19 That was my fear Curran! If even you do not know about the translation I have to resign myself. Thank you anyway. All the best Luca 1 Quote
Charlie C Posted July 15 Report Posted July 15 Hi Luca, I am happy to translate some episodic pieces for you - I can also preview it a little bit since I currently do not have the book. Best, C. C. Quote

What you can do to get a rough idea is install ChatGPT app on your phone, make a pic and ask to translate? They're usually ok with general descriptions. Names not so much Quote
zanilu Posted July 15 Author Report Posted July 15 Thank you Davel and Charlie. Using AI is exactly what I have done. With some training the translations have improved since I have started. The names are still problematic but there are work arounds. I am mainly interested in Kaga Zoban pieces, so signatures and names are not a big issues since thus far I have limited myself to translate figures captions. I plan to tackle the mai text in the future. Let's see how it goes. Regards Luca 1 1 1 Quote
