Hi! On my Shinto waki with the mei "Noushou seki no jou Kanetaka" have a very beautiful dragon fittings. I hope someone can help me with the artist name on the fuchi. Big thanks in advance! Jan

You are right about the price, Mark. If I take it to the auction it will judged by their expert on Japanese weapons. But it´s always good to have as much info as possible. Thanks again for Your input! /Jan

Hi Mark! I acctually saw Your post about the yari. It helped very much. And yes, it´s a very nice yari. The mei is very similar exept the "cleanup" on Yours. I´m thinking of putting this yari up for sale later this winter on a weaponsauction. Do You have any clue of the value of this smith? All the best! Jan

Arigato Moriyama-san When I looked at the last kanji, yari in hand, it sure looks like You are right. I also did some more reserach on the web that backs Your suggestion. Again, thank You! /Jan

Hi again! Chris, you are correct. There is a last secret kanji. I haven´t seen it during the years I had it i my collection. Its´almost completely gone. It doesn´t look lika a Sada-kanji anyway. The friday quiz: Please try to find the missing kanji Look at the picture. /Jan

Thanks Chris! I will check the yari as soon as I come home. Another rookiemistake... Perhaps it will be yet another classic Suke sada Whats the translation for heian jo ju? Ishido Suke+something I guess is the name. Thanks again! Jan

And just now a Hasebe Kunishige tanto went on sale on ebay for 12000 dollar. A guy from Toronto. The tang looks older than on my. But it was pretty bad pictures. Funny! Jan

I hear You, Guido I guess thats the charm with this hobby. And it´s not getting any easier if it´s a famous name on the mei. But this is why this message board is so fantastic for a beginner like myself. /Jan

Ahh! I thought Kuni+shige was the two last kanjis. And that George based on that gave me his first name to. So the full mei reads HA+SE+BE+KUNI+SHIGE. That means I nailed the two last kanjis and missed the three first ones. Better than nothing I guess Based on this I wonder what timeperiod we are talking about. The guy I bought this tanto from told me it had been dated to Tenmon. Well, again a big THANK YOU to all who helped me so far. Jan

Thanks Toryu for the kanji. Do You know the exact translation of 長谷部国重 ? Or some one else, for that matters? Thansk again! Jan

Thats a great start George. I really happy to get all the info I can. I´m also happy I managed to read the mei some what correct Can You translate the whole mei? Any more info would be great. I included two more pictures. Perhaps it can help. And again George, thanks! Jan
