MauroP Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Dear NMB members, I apologize for once again asking for your help in transcribing and translating some tsuba hakogaki by Satō Kanzan. HGK1 甲冑師作 ＊ katchūshi saku 五方小透 鐔 ＊ gohō ko-sukashi tsuba 変り木瓜形 鉄 ＊ kawari-mokkō-gata tetsu 地 五方小透 ＊ ji gohō ko-sukashi 無銘 甲冑師 ＊ mumei katchūshi ★★★作之珍重 ＊ ??? no chinchō 昭和己酉晩秋 ＊ Shōwa tsuchinoto-tori banshū [1969, late autumn] 寒山誌 ＊ Kanzan shirusu (kaō) I am unable to recognize the first two (or perhaps three) kanji in the fourth column on the inside of the box.

MauroP Posted June 9 Author Report Posted June 9 HGK2 尾張透 ＊ Owari sukashi 四方花形文 鐔 ＊ shihō hanagata-mon tsuba 撫角形 鉄地 四方透 ＊ nadekaku-gata tetsu-ji shihō sukashi 無銘 尾張透 ＊ mumei Owari sukashi 時代 室町時代 ＊ jidai Muromachi jidai 出来宜矣板★ ＊ dekī yoroshi ?? 昭和庚戌年晩秋 ＊ Shōwa kanoe-inu-nen banshū [1970, late autumn] 寒山誌 ＊ Kanzan shirusu (kaō) Here, I am a bit perplexed by the repetition of the word jidai in the third column. I would also appreciate any confirmation of my transcription of the fourth column, as the last kanji still eludes me. 1 Quote
SteveM Posted June 10 Report Posted June 10 1st one is 面白元作之珍重 Interesting and original (design) 2nd one is 出来宜敷囗 deki yoroshiku I'm actually a bit stumped by the final character of the second line. I have a few Kanzan hakogaki with this same construction, and I have kind of lazily skipped over it, thinking it was part of 宜敷, or maybe it was 宜敷く, or some variation of く (perhaps hentaigana). But looking at this fresh I don't like any of those options, and am wondering what it is exactly. Edit: Looking again, I guess the last character is 候 (in kuzushiji) 2 1 Quote

But the reading is incorrect. 竪木瓜形 * Tate-mokkō-gata 2 1 Quote

MauroP Posted June 10 Author Report Posted June 10 Thank you so much, Steve and Koichi. The romaji transcription for 面白元作之珍重 should be omoshiro gensaku no chinchō, right? 1 Quote
MauroP Posted Monday at 12:18 AM Author Report Posted Monday at 12:18 AM Two more transcriptions need to be confirmed (sorry, there are still a few others on the list). HGK3 竹茎透 鐔 ＊ takekuki sukashi tsuba 丸形 鉄地 地透 ＊ maru-gata tetsu-ji ji-sukashi 無銘 尾張興 ＊ mumei Owari-kō 昭和辛亥年秋 ＊ Shōwa kanoto-i-nen aki [1971, autumn] 寒山誌 ＊ Kanzan shirusu (kaō) The kanji written on the box looks different from 茎. Is it a variant form, or is it a completely different character? The second kanji I am uncertain about is 興 in 尾張興. What does it mean in this context? HGK4 初代 友善 ＊ shodai Tomoyoshi 龍透 鐔 ＊ ryū sukashi tsuba 竪丸形 鉄地肉 ＊ tatemaru-gata tetsu-ji niku- 形 銘 一柳友善作 ＊ bori mei Ichiryū Tomoyoshi saku 初代 ★也力作 ＊ shodai ??? nari risaku 昭和辛亥初月日 ＊ Shōwa kanoto-i toshihazuki no bi [1971, a day in january] 寒山誌 ＊ Kanzan shirusu (kaō) One kanji here seems to elude my understanding. Thank you for your help. Quote
