I would like to show the sword given me by my Dad in the interest of learning about its history and school.

something-HISA
The second kanji is HISA.
The first kanji is unusual - sort of like KIYO, but not really...
Pete
something-HISA
Thank you...the second being the lowest on the tang...a top group of three--> (2) then (1 below) and then the bottom..
Andrew
radicals
Right. The first (upper) kanji has 3 'radicals', two of which are the same.
Pete
Perhaps Haruhisa
from the web
now to find out about him
other readings
You'll want to look into other possible name-readings also, such as KIYO, which I mentioned in my earlier post. This kanji "could" be an odd form of KIYO.
As an example, note that there is a known "KIYOHISA", KIY87.
Pete
readings
O'Neill's book lists these as alternate readings:
Kiyo, Haru, SEI, JOu, Teru, Hare, Nari.
SEI and JOu are not very likely candidates, because they 'Onyomi' readings.

readings
There are things that I have not done yet like measurments...design features...shapes that indicate schools. I will do these soon
