Regarding construction methods

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

 

I just thought i'd start out with a few questions.

Regarding the various construction methods (kobuse gitae, honsanmai etc.), are there any sources in literature that specify which traditions and schools used which.

Related to this, I always wondered why many Mino Seki blades seemed to have masame in the shinogi ji and mokume in the ji and this pretty much ties in with the first question.

Any comments on how polishers contributed to this knowledge is also very welcome.

 

Thanks in advance,

Nostro
