Hello
I think the signature reads Fujiwara Yoshisada, do you read the same?
I searched the web but the only Fujiwara Yoshisada I can find had longer mei.
http://nihontoclub.com/view/smiths/meis ... +YOSHISADA

which smith do you think it could be?
the blade is a tanto out of polish but with a thin suguha so hizen could make sense?
thank you for your help
eric

what would make you think it is bungo? (i could not find a Fujiwara Yoshisada in bungo)

the tanto is out of polish and in the style of a armor piercer (7mm thickness at the mune machi)
the hamon is thin suguha

Eric,

it is not an armour piercer but is Unokubi-zukri, if it has a yokote

line it is Kanmuri-otoshi. The tang and tip looks Bizen to me.

difficult to see with the pics but it is Kanmuri Otoshi Zukiri (it does not turns back to thick near the tip)
armour piercer would be indeed have a thickness of more than 1cm

what makes you feel it is Bizen?
