At that time i can find a number of kiyomitsu smiths listed, in kaga there where 2 generations of kaga, 4th and 5th. There where also kiyomitsu smiths in Bizen, Mino, Suwo and satsuma. Obviously there may be more, but these are the the kiyomitsu i can find listed. Below is a picture of the tang on my suriage kiyomitsu. I was under the impression it was o suriage but not so sure now. Alex.

Hi Steve, if you got it for a steel then its worth every penny. My katana is genroku, mumei suriage, the grain is itame with massame. It came with nthk kanteisho papers. Its only lately ive been looking for information on kaga kiyomitsu smiths. Alex.

I have an unsigned katana attributed to kiyomitsu of kaga genroku era. I know there where many smiths known by kiyomitsu. i was wondering, is this kiyomitsu the same kiyomitsu as kiyomitsu 2nd genroku ? Alex

Il keep the intro brief, ive been interested in samurai swords since i was 9, im now 41. My older cousin owned a reproduction which i thought was great so i persuaded my folks to buy me one for xmas. Funnily enough i still own it, sentimental i suppose.Im glad to say ive owned a few authentic swords since then. Im always on the lookout to learn something new. Regards, Alex
