Ken-Hawaii Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Aloha, all: I was finally able to find & buy a new, very light training weapon. I think I have a translation of the mei, but would appreciate expert opinions. My tentative translation is "Made by Kunimune of Osafune Village, Bizen Province" - am I close? My apologies for the mediocre photo, but the mei is quite faint. Mahalo! (Thanks!) Ken Quote
Grey Doffin Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Hi Ken, I can't see the 1st Kanji but I imagine they are either Bizen or Bishu. Most likely Bizen because it is followed by no Kuni Osafune no Junin Kunimune Saku. Grey Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks, Grey. I can barely see the first Kanji either, & it's sitting here right in front of me. But it does say "Bizen" - just too shy to photograph, I guess. Ken Quote
