Fionda Posted August 31 Report Posted August 31 This is from sunnobi tantō attributed to Nobukuni, likely Oei, likely Saemon no Jo Nobukuni. I'm an curious if anyone can help me figure out the bonji, which are carved along a ken (the two bits at the top of the frame which the frame cuts off are the continuation of the ken shape, not part of the bonji). The top part of the bonji seems to be a stylized fudo-myoo, it looks similar to one on a yari posted on this forum from 14 years ago. But what about the bottom part? I'm assuming it's two characters stacked, fudo-myoo on the top and then the bottom one but not sure if them being put together changes the entire meaning? Thanks for the help. Quote
