Hidenobu

[cisco-san]

Dear all,

 

I think this sword is signed Hidenobu. But I don´t find information about a modern sword smith with the name Hidenobu - therefore I think I am wrong with my translation . Additionally I would kindly ask you to help me with the translation of the date.

 

many thanks

Hidenobu is rather 秀延

The reading was correct: "Hidenobu" (秀宣)

He was a Seki-based smith.

Hi,

 

Why not Hideyoshi 秀宜 ?

Hi,

 

Why not Hideyoshi 秀宜 ?

 

I saw Hideyoshi just like this 秀美 but you know as beginner my knowledge is very poor. I try to do my best - but it is so difficult ?!

[Amon]

Don't shoot me if I'm wrong but I like Jacques idea,

especially the strikes in Yoshi

[reinhard]

It's HIDENOBU for sure. - Some people know what they are talking about and others are just teasing for their ego's sake. Wasting our time and board's bandwith.

Hi,

 

Maybe i'm wrong but there is Six horizontal strokes on Hidenobu. On this one i see only five.

 

 

No comment about yours

I did not watch the mei precisely. But now I see Jacques’ point.

 

I found another mei of Hidenobu, though I do not know if it is genuine or not.

However, it is different from the mei in this thread. It is the right mei in the attached picture. The second kanji clearly looks 宣 (nobu).

The second kanji in question surely looks like 宜 (also can read “nobu”). If I have not known that there was 秀宣 in Seki, I might read it as 秀宜 (Hideyoshi/Hidenobu)

 

The two mei(s) might be chiseled by different persons. The mei might be Daimei or Gimei. Or they might be chiseled by different Meigirishi (銘切師).

Hi,

 

 

Why not Hideyoshi 秀宜?

 

 

Thank you very much Moriyama san, that is a real good answer for that i had asked.

 

 

Ps, i didn't know that 宜 can read also Nobu.
