Tanba No Kami Yoshimichi Mei Help

Recommended Posts

Dear all,

I would like your opinion on this Tanba no Kami Yoshimishi mei. It does not fit my references of the earlier generations of Yoshimichi smiths of either the Kyo or Osaka branch. The dot stroke in the Kami Kanji (by pointing in the six o´clock position) however indicate the Osaka branch. Could it be some of the later generations or a gimei?, which is quite common.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jesper

The hamon looks like a rather coarse Sudare-ba (Bamboo screeen, resembling sweeping strokes of a broom). Sudare-ba was mostly made by the Mishima group, to which the  Yoshimichi smiths belong. In that respect the hamon fit the mei. I have enclosed a snapshot.
