Kanenaga Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 Some assistance please. This is a tsunagi to a wakizashi koshirae. It's made of copper or some copper alloy, with these kanji engraved. Auspicious incantations, perhaps? Les Quote
xiayang Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 These are two phrases that originate from the Zhuangzi (莊子) and are related to the Daoist concept of the spirit. A rough literal translation would be something along the lines of 萬物服 = all things submit 一心㝎 = a stable heart and soul 6 1 Quote
Scogg Posted February 27 Report Posted February 27 Very interesting, Can we see the tsunagi in its entirety? Can’t say I’ve seen one made of a copper alloy. -Sam 3 Quote
Geraint Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Some years ago an example was auctioned in London with a copper blade and parts of the koshirae were by some very famous makers. I'll see if I can find it. All the best. 2 Quote
