HELP!
Can anyone read the inscriptions?
Also, a couple Qs:
1. The wood peg holding the hilt together has "gone beyond". How should I substitute it..?
2. I'm trying to fix another tsuka, it's wood halves are held together with a black goo in the caudal (kabuto-gane) area. What is it made of, how should I remove it and with what material should it be replaced with?
Best, and merry Xmas to all!
