Subject:Inscription on Katana
Posted By: Thomas Sun, Dec 29, 2024 IP: 190.93.96.42

When my grandfather passed away he left behind this katana. I asked my Japanese teacher if she could translate it and she said it was Chinese. I asked my Chinese friend and he said it's traditional Chinese. One of my Chinese coworkers said the inscription says "Hasegawa" and that it's a Japanese name that it related to the maker of the sword. If anyone can confidently translate this, and perhaps get a date on it, that would be wonderful, thank you.

It is Japanese. Marking reads,
繁慶 Hankei

You will find it on Google.

With regards,
