Bruno Its called Modern Japanese Swordsmiths 1868 to 1945 by John Scott Slough
-
That is becoming very clear. BTW KenKaku is Koichi sans rank here not his name YOU should address him as Moriyama sama.
-
Did you not see the page i posted on your smith????
-
Thank you peter, Roland i think you should consider George's theory.
-
for your hard work, i trust this will only bring you to more questions. That is the joy of Nihonto and why were all here.
-
it would be great to see the nakago.
-
is it just me or does anyone else think most of the meis in this auction to be done by the same hand. do a tsuba search too for some wild new tsuba. http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.s ... blicSite.r
-
it may be at first but with some going back and forth you'll get the hang of it. On the NMB we encourage newbie's to try not just give it to them. so i hope you dont get the date from a member but try to look it up. Yes Kanemune
-
Well thats because your not use to a wide range of ways Kane was done...it is Kanemune...now try the date your self here http://www.geocities.com/alchemyst/kanji/nengo.htm and the Kanji pages above.
-
use the kami in the benjo and remove the mei...ya got a nice sword
-
TJ dont think anyone thinks something wrong with the tsuka ito, maybe a shot of the fuchi, most likely a add on but hard to tell from pix and not in hand.
