Jussi Ekholm Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 Well here is some beginners translation help, it may be bit off but more experienced members will correct errors. Kozuka 1: I got this as Na Yoshi Toshimitsu, not entirely sure of that Na. Many Toshimitsu's listed in Haynes, as I don't know much about fittings I can't give any further info. Kozuka 3: Toshiyasu, Only Toshiyasu with these characters that I found from Haynes was H 10637.0. He was of Enomoto family and worked in Tokyo c. 1900-1920. Rest are bit too hard for me to translate.

Toryu2020 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 I'll take a shot; 1. Nara Toshimitsu 2. Higo (no) Kami Fujiwara Teruhiro saku 3. Toshikane 4. This is a tough one but I think it is the work of Komori Harutoshi who signed Toun-sai. This appears to have an inscription saying that this was carved by or perhaps carved in the style of Sômin. Would need to spend a lot more time with it to work this out... FWIW -t Quote
