ChrisB78 Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 Hello everyone, I have this Koshirae since some time and like to know more about it, if it's possible. I would like to know at first if my translation is correct? According to what i found and got told, it should be Tsuji Motochika. For Motochika i can find something online but not with Tsuji. I added several photos of the Koshirae details. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 Hi Chris, Tsuji Motochika (plus kao) would seem to be correct. Nice fuchi! 1 1 Quote

If anyone could tell what the right side means, i would be very happy! Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 Chris, SteveM above has said he reckons that it's 光長 Mitsunaga on the right, a name. There seems to be a Kao following that name too. The question for me is why two different people have signed it, each with their own kao. A joint work? 3 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 There were several Mitsunaga with these characters 光長. The only very faint connection I can find so far, and it could well be a simple coincidence, is a Kyoto metalwork artisan during Anei (late 1700s) who lived in a small street called (藤の辻子). That uses the same kanji as Tsuji on the left. On the other hand we always need to keep open the possibility of gimei. 4 1 Quote

That's already much more than i expected to receive. And it's really interesting with the possible second name if it's real as you mentioned. 1 Quote
