Dear all,

 

a few year ago I bought a sword from swordsmith Kojima Kanemichi.

The seller sent me also a picture of an article about this smith (see attachement), but unfortunately I can´t read it.

 

Therefore I would kindly ask you to help me.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Klaus

For a starter it says:

KANEMICHI is (was) a contemporary (gendai) smith and worked from Showa period onwards. The price of one of his swords is about 200 man'en (2M yen). His known signatures are:

[Noshu Seki (no) ju KANEMICHI kore-o saku] [Noshu Seki (no) ju Kojima KANEMICHI kore-o saku]. His personal name was Kojima Tokijiiro (Jishiro?) and he was born in Meiji 35th year, 7th month (1902). Followed by the important stages of his career and his location in Seki.

 

BTW Estimated prices in compilations like these are wishful thinking. They are helpful only for understanding the relative value of a blade compared to others.
