House of Tokugawa coming to an end...
Nobody replied to MassiveMoonHeh's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
I do not know much about it, but I think that there is a misunderstanding. Miki Yamagishi (山岸美喜) is a descendant of Tokugawa Yoshinobu family, which is one of many branch families of Tokugawa. Ref. Tokugawa Yoshinobu family - Wikipedia The Head Family of the Tokugawa Clan will continue. Ref. 徳川宗家 - Wikipedia The current head of the family is Iehiro Tokugawa (徳川家廣). Ref. Iehiro Tokugawa - Wikipedia -
More precisely, 埋忠重義 – Umetada Shigeyoshi 慶長十二年八月日 – Keicho 12th year (1607), 8th month

You are almost correct. However, Kanbon 7th year is 1667.

The image is not clear, but the smith name might be 守政 - Morimasa. Edited, Mirimasa --> Morimasa

Now the auction just ended, and the tanto was sold for 180,000 JPY. The problem of the blade is much worse than gimei. Its registration paper is a forgery. That means that the blade is not registered and the blade itself is illegal. I guess that the blade was illegally made in Japan or illegally imported to Japan. The mei on its omote-side is 伯州住延秀 – Hakushu ju Nobuhide. I can read the erased signature under the date on its ura-side. The old signature is also 伯州住延秀 (Hakushu ju Nobuhide). Again I guess that the faker originally intended to make an illegal blade with the mei of 伯州住延秀 (Hakushu ju Nobuhide), but he made a mistake and chiseled the mei on its ura-side at first, and then redone the nakago.

秋山飛瀑 – Autumn mountains and waterfall This term is not a proper noun for a specific waterfall, but a general name of a painting motif. 庚午秋畫 – Painted in the autumn of the year of Kanoe-Uma (1990, 1930, 1870, 1810, or older?) 於静修齋林肇基 This might express the place and name of the painter. I am not sure.

Maybe 房宗 - Fusamune.

If it is not 忠 (Tada), it could be 徳 (Toku).

Assistance needed in translation of a tsuba Hakogaki
Nobody replied to GRC's topic in Translation Assistance
丸形鉄地地透 – Round shape, iron base, open work 無銘尾張 – Mumei, Owari 昭和丁未年夏 – Showa Hinoto-Hitsuji year (1967), summer 寒山 - Kanzan -
The upper part of the omote side is not taken in the pictures. I guessed the untaken characters in blue font. 能登守 – Noto no kami 帝室技藝員菅原包則八十四歳作 – Made by an Imperial Household Artist Sugawara Kanenori, 84 years old. 飯野吉三郎君 – Mr. Iino Kichisaburo 君万歳 – Long live you. 大正二年十二月吉日 – Taisho 2nd year (1913), a day in 12th month FYI: 飯野吉三郎 - Wikipedia
-
The second kanji is a mystery. I guess that the mei could be 兼裳 (a variation of 常) – Kanetsune.
-
Ref. Swordsmith Index | Nihonto Club

The mei is 関住兼貞作 (Seki ju Kanesada made.). This Kanesada is also a good smith. However, the smith is not 之定 (Nosada) or even popular 兼定 (Kanesada).

Both 来助 and 求助 are old-fashioned names, but I think that both could be possible.
