Dear friends,

Mei translation.

My opinion (opinion only) is:
We have 7 characters.
The characters are not equal in size ( 4+3).
First four characters (they are of the same width): HOSHU TAKADA (Takada from Hoshu region)
7 characters: HOSHU TAKADA JU FUJIWARA - Fujiwara (name) from Takada (place) of Hoshu (region) or if FUJIWARA is a title there is no name in the mei.
My opinion : 4 characters are right.
7 characters are not right. The tang was shortened.

Please advise Your opinion.

Thank You.
