I'm back I recently posted a request for assistance with a character in a date which soon was sorted out, now I have another request as I am unable to find any information on this smith, I have come to the conclusion that it is not Hosokawa Masamori as the character for Mori is different. I have checked on line to no avail, and so I am hoping someone in this group can help. Many thanks Ian

Hi Marco Yes , the oshigata on the left is shodai and the one on the right is signed Echizen Kuni ju which I thought was Shodai as well as I have only found references to Nidai signing Yamato Daijo. as you can see from the picture they are nothing like mine.. You never know mine could be Gimei.. Ian

Gentlemen & Ladies I have a Wakizashi signed Yamato Daijo Fujiwara Kanenori, I can find some information on him but not much..... I know this is Ni-Dai Kanenori and his father (Shodai) was Echizen ju Chikugo no Kami Fujiwari Kanenori, my problem is I am unable to find any Oshigata in my limited library to compare with mine.. Hopefully someone can help. Thank you in advance.. Ian PS Hope the picture comes through o/k
