Nihonto

I recently bought a wak with origami, but they did not send me the English translation. Can someone help me with the translation?

Thanks,
Phil

The parts that are written 'darker/bolder' are like a pre-printed form, and are the same on all examples of this type of origami. It is a "kicho ninteisho" from NBTHK, dated November 11th 1967. The description of the blade says "wakizashi, (something)-den (i.e., "made in the style of (something)), Takada Masayuki". See MAS1760 for reference. The length is 1 shaku 2 sun 8 bun. The left-most column is "(somebody)-sama", the owner's name. See here for an example of Takada Masayuki: http://www.choshuya.co.jp/1/0802/member_frame_sword.htm Pete [ I have this pair of swords for sale: http://yakiba.com/Daisho_Tango_no_Kami_Kanemichi.htm Available as a pair, or individually. ] Login or register to post comments
