Romanization/Reading

Sesko and Watson both romanize as Daiminkyō. Sesko notes that it can also be read as Daiminkei. This would also apply to the following 大明京 smiths. 京 can indeed be read as kyō, kei, or kin – kyō being the most direct, it would seem. I leave it to you Stan to decide the best translation for this database.
