Cuirassier Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Dear All I am spoiling for a humiliation. I have tried to translate a mei and come up with Sato o Tetsu for the blade maker's name. I know I am wrong. Would appreciate being humiliated gently; maybe I at least got one character correct? Regards Mark Quote
Mark Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 looks like there is more to the inscription. If so i think it is Nagasone (kotetsu) one of the most famous shinto makers, there is a lot of info on him available on the web Quote
Grey Doffin Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Nagasone Okisato Kotetsu. It has been said that if 100 Kotetsu were in a room, 101 of them would be gimei. This is one of the 101. Grey Quote
Cuirassier Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks guys. I agree with Grey, the mei is very sloppy; forgive the technical term. I just do not see a lot of pride in the signature. And thanks again, to Mark too. Quote
