Tetsuō-maru, Celebration of 77th birthday
From everyone concerned in Karatsu city.
鐵櫻丸 Tetsuō-maru would be the name of the sword. Maru is sometimes used for swords, not only for ships or boys. For example, the Japanese name of Frodo's sword Sting is つらぬき丸 Turanuki-maru in The Lord of the Rings.
Thank you very much for the help with this translation, I greatly appreciate it. That is a very interesting mei. So the name of the sword is 'Tetsuo' and 'Maru' indicates it as a name, is that accurate?
