Japanese katana inscription
Author: Richard
Q: Hello, I have a quick question. I have two japanese swords, a katana and a kodachi, both with engraved japanese symbols. I have no idea what those symbols mean, and therefore I was wondering if you could help me translate them? If so, I will e-mail you pictures of the symbols on the swords. Thanks in advance! Sincerely,
Mattias
A: Hi Mattias, Thank you very much for getting in touch.
Even if you emailed me the photo I don’t think I’d be able to help as they’ll probably best very stylized (i.e. difficult to read!) or very old kanji. You might be better off asking a professional sword expert.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help,
Be genki,
Richard
