Hello all!!

Some friends posted an image of a sword on facebook, the sword was handed down from a father to son to son, the Sword was brought to the United states from japan, after WWII. The person in ownership of the sword would like to know what the writing says on it. Can anyone help me translate this?

Can I create a personal collection folder? I have some tosogu that I would like to share if possible.

Cheers

Due to the small bandwidth I get from Earthlink, my site "The Japanese Sword Index" is commonly offline toward the end of the month. To help with this and make the material avaiable to MEMBERS, I have created and uploaded a ZIP file of the entire website. To download it, get the URL on my profile page. Please do not share this address with others as that will just again limit the bandwidth. Hope you all find this useful. You can have the entire website on your computer for personal use; never be upset when it goes offline again.

Hello. I am a new member and not used to navigating sites.( A didgital immigrant) I have a sword and have been told the mei reads So Shu Ju Hiro Mitsu. Another person thought it was about 150 years old. Please tell me how I can go about researching further. I entered the mei as directed with no spaces and nothing happened.

OK this seems more comfusing than it probably is. How do you post photos in a posting in the forums?

I have photos in the gallery 2 and tried using the syntax provided but no photos get displayed. Shouldn't there be a clickable link to post a photo? There is a clickable link when I am the author of the discussion, but nothing for replying?

Thanks,
Fred
