Hi all, By the way, I considerably doubt the attribution on the Hozon paper. Blade does not feel Shinto Hizen, hada is more itame/mokume eith much ji-nie and chikei.. Nakago is also not in line. There is quite some hints of Soshu-den also in the ha. best regards John

Dear all, this is a sayagaki of Dr Sato on the shirasaya of a mumei tanto. I can read most but the attribution puzzles me. Anyone who can read the second kanji? thanks in advance John Lapre

Thanks Julien, so now from that website it looks like: 頒 (han) — to distribute, to grant, to bestow • 御 (go/gyo) — honorific prefix indicating imperial/august status • 賜 (shi) — to grant, to gift from a superior to an inferior which makes sense since it was a gift to Kawabe Masakazu when he was promoted to general. thanks for pointing out the website. best regards John

Hello, this is an inscription on a small tanto that puzzles me. Anyone who can help? The tanto is a 1945 presentation piece with hozon papers to a smith Kanenari. I edited the picture to make the kanji clearer. best regards John L.

Here is the NBSK paper, but no help needed for this one. best regards John L.

Dear all, this Satō Kanzan sayagaki I find difficult to translate. Some parts are ok. It is of a Sa Kunihiro juyo blade. The backside is not from him but looks a strange text. Could anyone help? thanks John L.
