Hello,

I would like to request help translating the kanji on the tang from a Japanese sword. I see a name but am struggling with the rest. I am trying to turn the kanji into romaji and their translation to English. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Matt

There is no personal name there. Miyazaki is the name of a city or prefecture.

So this was stolen from a shrine after the war?

They might like to have it back, don't you think?
