sanjuro Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 Assistance would be most appreciated with this kanji character. It appears on a tsuba, and to be honest I dont know if this is the right orientation. I've spent some time looking through the kanji dictionary but cannot locate a similar looking character. HELP!!!!!!! Quote
sanjuro Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Posted January 29, 2012 Koichi San. My gratitude for such a speedy and much appreciated reply. Thank you. :D Quote
sanjuro Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Posted January 29, 2012 ....... I read this sukashi tsuba Kanji as meaning 'One sword, One cut, Without thought or will. As in the spirit of Asura the guardian deity of buddhism who was a berserker. Would this be correct or am I off with the fairies? Quote
Nobody Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 FYI; 剣心一如 (Ken Shin Ichi Nyo) - The Sword and Mind are one. Ref. http://underthemoonshadow.blogspot.com/ ... i-nyo.html Quote
sanjuro Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Posted January 29, 2012 OK..... I was off with the fairies. I was looking at it a completely different way, and thinking it was expressing an entirely different zen principle. I was being lazy. Thanks Koichi San. Quote
