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
