kanji |
Some time ago I ran across a table online that listed Japanese sword smith names by the number of strokes in their kanji. I believe it was from the "Meiboku" website. Since then, I am unable to open that site anymore, I believe it was shut down. I was able to find a limited number of kanji stroke counting smith names on the JSSUS site, but not anywhere near the number I found on the Meiboku site. Does anyone know where I can find a large number of Japanese smiths kanji stroke counting table. I have a Chinese girlfriend who is able to do an accurate kanji stroke count for me. |

Hello, IRT E-mail conversation w/Stan, I would like to request a reading of my Wakizashi tang, if possible. I apologize for the pictures. I don't have a really good digital camera yet. I would appreciate anything you can tell me about this piece. Thanks, Justen |
