Anyone read Japanese?
Thought maybe someone on the forums reads japanese. The picture is of a very old sword maker's signature. Wonder if anyone can interpret this name?

Just as a shot in the dark, my phone says it has a translation feature, maybe yours does too.

I'm old school. No cell phone here. I know google has an app for cellphones called " Google goggles" where you can upload a picture and someone will identify what is in the picture.

The first character looks korean, and the second character means something like head, chief, or something along those lines.
