Asking for a quick help with paper


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

 

I would like to ask for help. I bought a Wakizashi with old papers, seller could not tell me anything about the smith, not even the name, so here I am :)
 

Could somebody please read the relevant part? Date, size erc. I can figure out myself. Thank you 1f642.png

Hello!

 

I took a picture of the nakago and of the whole blade so that the sugata may offer some help. 

 

Here's where I am at now: 

 

It is a Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi. It does not have the Kiku mon (which is said to be on the tang in the Kyoto branch), and the small middle stroke in "kami" is pointing downwards, which is said to be how the Osaka smiths did it. 

 

But I cannot deduce the time, the generation. The sugata looks like early / middle edo to me, but i am a very very very beginner, so that does not say much :D

Any inputs are much appreciated. What do you guys think?

 

thanks, 

 

SZAB
