Nihonto |
Hello everyone. First I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ian Young from South Carolina, US. I am new to nihonto collecting and became interested due to my involvement in Kendo (among other arts such as Aikido and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). This site has an excellent database that has proven very helpful to me and I am happy to now be a part of the forum. |

Hi Stan and everyone, I'm' very grateful for the last discussion, Happy that I found Nihonto club, I had been collecting anything that comes my way for years but unfortunately could not understand much, specially with interpretations on tang or sword blades. I accept this as one of my weak points and thanks to you guys I'm' starting to deeper appreciate the Japanese sword. So in line with this may I again ask additional help to translate or give any knowledge you have on the next set of my attachments?As usual I'm' extending my regards to all... Picture descriptions: |

Hi Stan, Im sending the pictures of the swords the first two pictures are of the yari, I tried to consult someone he just mentioned yamato no kami? but thats all. the suceding is the 2 short sword picsist is with 2 character signature and the next is with 5 characters, followed with a tanto with 2 charcter signature. lastly would you be kind enough to interpret a sinature on a tsuba my last picture. Well I hope you could shed some light on this I really dont know who to turn to? Thanks be waiting for your reply. Regards, |

Hi, I'm new here and hoping to find someone who can translate the inscription on this blade. I just got it and this is a whole new world to me. I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time reading through the topics on this forum, trying to lean what I can! I'll post photos of the entire sword as soon as I can get a chance to take some good photos. So for now, here's a photo of the inscription, and thanks for any help! |

please help with any information on the translation of this sword. I have no idea what any of it means or how to even begin to figure it out. thank you in advance. |

Here is a sword that reads 肥前国肥後大掾源種廣 Hizen Kuni Higo Daijo Minamoto Tanehiro. I was just wondering if there is any info on the sword maker and the sword itself, as I can't seem to find any myself. |
