Kantei By Photo - February

[CSM101]

Dear Members,

 

this is a chance to proof your own skills in kantei again, before the real changelling kantei from Rayhan can start.

 

Good idea, by the way.

 

So: nagasa 53,3 cm, motohaba 3,5 cm, sakihaba 2,7 cm, yasurime osujikai. On the omote is a long signature close to the mune and another inscription in gold.

 

Weight: 660 g.

 

 

I  will post the answer 12.02.

 

 

Good luck!

Osaka Shinto?

Are all Wakizashi signed Katana Mei?

[Guest Rayhan]

Let's give a guess:

 

First guess would be Echigo no Kami Kanesada based on beautiful undulating Hamon and the Nakago shape.

 

Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi is the most likely though- Hamon fits well- shape and Nakago

 

ok with the headache i lean to Tanba No Kami Yoshimichi - my guess

The minute I saw the yakiba suggesting a sudareba hamon I thought of the sandai Osaka Yoshimichi.  It looks like, as best I can see, very similar to a sword I have held in my hand.

 

BaZZa.

And the answer is: Tamba no Kami Yoshimichi.
