Hello, Thankyou you guys very much for your help . Yes I did do a smoke oshigata. Old school, I guess. Next time I make it to a sword show I will take a look at the oshigata kits. Can anyone elaborate on the mei? I understand the Made to the order of Mr. Tanemura as the sword was made on order. But I have never heard of Hanano kaji. Who are they and who were some of the smiths ? Thanks and warm regards, David
