Sayagaki & Honami Origami, please

[Grey Doffin]

Hi guys,

I have a Meiji era tachi by Yamana Tokiyoshi, which will be offered on my site. I need Romaji and translation of one piece of the sayagaki and a paper from, I'm told, Honami Nisshu. Much appreciated, Grey

[MassiveMoonHeh]

Grey, I will attempt this. It is my first attempt so please forgive me. Others may correct me.

 

Scabard: 貴重刀剣認定 - Certified as a valuable sword.

 

Paper 1: 薩州山名時吉 正真 Authentic work of Yamana Tokiyoshi of Sasshū (Satsuma)

 

Paper 2: 時代慶長頃 Period: around the Keichō era” (1596–1615)

The smaller note:

お見やぶり appears to be an appraisal-related remark, roughly “as appraised."

山名時吉 小札 Yamana Tokiyoshi – label

 

Paper 3: 長サ 弐尺二寸六分有之 Length: 2 shaku 2 sun 6 bu

本阿弥日洲 Hon'Ami Nisshu

 

Cheers.

Thank you Brett. Grey

I cannot read this part.

I think that is:

相見申候也 

Aimi(e)-mōshi-sōrō nari 

 

Period term with about the meaning of "as appraised" as Brett said (lit. "as it appears to me").
