    Sayagaki - Writing on Japanese Sword Saya

    This Sayagaki is on the Saya of a very interesting Mumei Wakizashi. Can anyone here translate this?

        Now that everyone is back form the Chicago Sword Show, though I would ask again about this. I will also dust off my NMB ID and post there.

          Post 2 says in large letters "Mumei" and the rest is an address from Nagasaki

            Thanks Nick. Sounds like the Sayagaki is about as useful as sandpaper for evaluating this sword.

              The right side photo of post 1, what comes below that? I need to see a continuous image to be sure it's only an address.

                It is 3 independent characters near the base of the Saya, I was hoping that it translated as "Kunifusa (made) This" or "Kunifusa (wrote) This".

                This photo didn't turn out too well, but am hoping you will find it useful.

                  If those 3 are independent, I would read it as 関 憲之 Seki Noriyuki
