I am looking for an accurate picture of the sanskrit characters featured on the streamer from KURODA Nagamasa / Akizuki clan. They are illustrated on EValerio's wonderful Samurai heraldry gallery, and also on page 87 of "The History of Japanese Armor, vol 2" by NAKANISHI Ritta.
However, both drawings are not precise enough, and I'd like to see a more accurate drawing of these characters.
I hope Emmanuel Valerio will read this message and would kindly answer, as he surely knows the answer. ;)
ALternatively, if someone would be kind enough to share Emmanuel's email, I could contact him directly. Many thanks !!! :) |

From what I could make out, the right side up is on the left side of the fukinuki. You keep writing it up and over to the left side where it is now upside down. |

From what I could make out, the right side up is on the left side of the fukinuki. You keep writing it up and over to the 'RIGHT' side where it is now upside down. Corrections above to what I was trying to say. I can't tell my left from my right at 3 am! |
