Shugyosha Posted July 19 Report Posted July 19 Hi Volker, I'm not sure if this is the same blade (it's very similar) but the inscription is the same: https://www.aoijapan.com/katanakatana-in-shirasaya-with-koshiraenbthk-hozon-tokennbthk-hozon-token/ 2 Quote
Volker62 Posted July 19 Author Report Posted July 19 yes thank you John but what does "koshiyama Motomu kore" mean? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 19 Report Posted July 19 If Koshiyama is the correct reading of his family name 越山, it means '(Mr) Koshiyama placed the order for this' or (Mr, etc.) 'Koshiyama requested/ordered this'. Motomu is from the verb motomeru, 'look for' 'ask for' or 'want', and kore is 'this'. At the request of (Mr) Koshiyama 3 Quote
