Well, I had to decide between an upcoming ski trip or a new katana, and the girlfriend convinced me otherwise.
However, I think the seller said that he might be listing it on eBay in the near future, so keep a lookout for it.
Thank you gentlemen for the insightful piece of information, I really appreciate the help that fellow collectors on this forum have provided.
It's the first time I've seen such an inscription on a nakago.
Greetings! I am considering purchasing a very nice looking katana, but there is a 3-character inscription on the ura of the nakago indicating the steel type that I can't translate.
I was hoping that someone on this forum could help?
Wow Moriyama-san,
Thanks for the link to the tosho list. Good thing they have it in English also, since I was prepared to go through it in Kanji.
Great resource to have!
