damn lol . iwas just in japan last year november . i had so much fun. i stayed in shibuyaLiving and working in Japan, it is inevitable that you end up doing a lot of translation work, even if it is just for filling out paperwork or trying to figure out how to work the latest gadget in the house. I don't do it professionally, though. It would drive me nuts.
hey brother just curious to what these say bc the guy spelled everything wrong and i cant find any smith by the name he gave meLiving and working in Japan, it is inevitable that you end up doing a lot of translation work, even if it is just for filling out paperwork or trying to figure out how to work the latest gadget in the house.

oh thank you but is it kagenobu or kanenobu? bc i cant find any smith by kagenobuThe inscription on the tang is 景信 Kagenobu. The one on the tag is too vague.
oh right on thank you so much!mKagenobu is correct. The kanji can't be read Kanenobu.

so it turns out he had a whole collection from the uncle when he was in japan . the uncle went and stayed japan for 20 years since the 40's and passed away a couple years ago and left all his stuff to the nephew/guy i got the sword from. so hthe nephew sold all the swords(see attached) but found the Kunishige in the storageI think the family name is Inami, and this would be the Inami family who still operates the Japan Sword shop in Toranomon.

i think its kinda sad tho the nephew had no appreciation for the nihonto at all. his uncle collects them for 50 plus years and dies at 93 and then he just sends them out into the world lolso it turns out he had a whole collection from the uncle when he was in japan . the uncle went and stayed japan for 20 years since the 40's and passed away a couple years ago and left all his stuff to the nephew/guy i got the sword from. so hthe nephew sold all the swords(see attached) but found the Kunishige in the storage View attachment 24443
