ANYONE READ JAPANESE ? help on Samurai wakizashi sword. ID and value for a friend.

[ARC]

Yes... I too occasionally need some help on I.D's etc... :P

Any help / knowledge on this rare samurai wakizashi would help.
May even have been a "polearm" at one time... not sure.

Thanks in advance.

Oriental items are not my strongpoint... Especially the language.
My eyes begin to play tricks on me.

Writing meaning / what it says... AND a value is the target here.

Hey AARC,
here's a little from my perspective. It took me years to accept and I still don't understand but the japanese language evolves really fast, especially the written language. 90 percent of people today cannot understand the written language from three generations ago. No kidding. I've oft tried to get translations on antique items from my friends here in japan and i usually get something like "I wish my great grandfather was still alive, he could help you".
Even if you were here in japan, you would probably have to take it to a katana expert. If you had a written text or something from over a hundred years ago, you'd have to take it to a museum or a historian to get any info.
thats my take.
I always enjoy your posts and comments.

ps- the corny jokes are based on confusionism chinese. nothing to do with shinto / buddist japanese folks

Thanks for that insight... and appreciate the compliment.

PS- Man who eats corn tells corny jokes. :P

Sheesh, man. You're really stinkin up the place now.

You know what they call a deer that's blind?

'I have no i-dear.'

You know what they call a deer that's blind and also has no tail?

'I have no i-dear either'

Aoi Art just put an interesting piece on sale. Link here (and picture below). It is a copy of a copy, that means Kasama Ikkansai Shigetsugu (笠間一貫斎繁継, 1886-1965) copied a blade by Taikei Naotane (大慶直胤, 1778-1857) which the latter had modelled, rather freely if you compare it to the three originals introduced in my Masamune book, on one of the Hôchô-Masamune.

According to a Sinyuntae Sensei, this is the name "Dae Kyoung Jik Sa" which he translated to mean "Right talking gives a lot of delight"

 

[Discrimination Dave]

What the heck is this?
"Dae Kyoung Jik Sa"

It dang sure is not japanese

 

[Coach Stack]

Korean translation of Japanese, Sinyuntae Sensei is Korean.
