Wim V Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Hi all, Below is a section of a NBTHK tokubetsu kicho paper accompanying a wakizashi koshirae I recently acquired. I cut the relevant part out of the scan because the rest of the paper contains standard sentences, and otherwise the picture would be too large in size. I have been trying to interpret the information on the paper and this is what I got so far: 一黒石目地塗脇指拵 (ichi, kuro-ishi-me-ji-nuri, wakizashi koshirae) 金具一作四分一磨地無銘 (kanagu issaku shibuichi migaki-ji mumei) The last column starts with 目貫 (menuki), but I am having difficulties to find the following five kanji. Could anyone help me with finding these and suggesting their interpretation? Many thanks in advance, Wim Vanspeybrouck Quote
Nobody Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Hi, The five characters are 末廣図 and 容彫. Suehiro zu (末廣図): a shape like attached photo katachi-bori (容彫): carving in the shape of its motif Quote
Wim V Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Posted February 26, 2007 Thank you very much Moriyama-san ! It all makes a clear sense to me now, as the menuki are indeed made as small folding fans, having a form like in the picture you attached. This board is really great, thanks again! Wim Quote
