OK, second = 登録商標 = tōroku shōhyō = registered trademark
登録 = Tōroku = Register
商標 = Shōhyō = Trademark

Ah, register is what I was missing!

And I was wondering if that was supposed to be "Japan", so thanks for confirming it likely is!

Thanks again!

You're welcome, nice job on figuring it out!

Well that didn't tell me a whole lot. Apparently it just says Sasa.

Sasa it is!
Whatever that means...

In the knife world, sasanoa is ‘bamboo leaf’ shaped, just as a yanagiba is ‘willow leaf’ shaped. A sasanoa is about halfway in blade width between a gyuto and a yanagiba.

I suppose that it could also be a name, the Aesop lather bowls are actually part of a Sori Yanagi brand set of bowls, and Yanagi means willow.

According to Alex Sasa is a word or partial of a word that means nothing by itself. Interesting that it is on an old hoard stone though.

This is a kamisori that I got from Alex on the Sonoma trip. Anyone have any idea what the stamped or printed kanji say? I can get different images if it would help.

Thanks, Steve

Can anyone help with this, thank you!

翁 = Okina

Thanks, I was just going to post that is a okina Kataha.
