    My initial default thought was that the Ichi meant that the work is a Bizen/ Ichimonji utsushi or style work I recall several Hizen smiths (e.g Yukihiro) also inscribed Ichi as well signifying 'in the Ichimonji style' Edit:. Here's an example https://yuhindo.com/hizen-yukihiro-4/

    The peaks I'd describe as koshi-no-hiraita (late Bizen style)

    Hi Barry I'm fairly certain it's just 十二 with no second 二 Maybe it's the photos but the nakago and inscription does look remarkably fresh and well preserved almost like it was done in the last century!

    Ukai Jūrōe-no-jō Yoshizane - the Yoshizane is part of the name of the tester. The kao is the circular loop glyph after Yoshizane The mitsudo part just means the sword cut through three torsos/corpses I can't see a smith mei on this side

    Nice work Steve! I couldn't even find 㞮 in the jisho! I'm still not sure what 㞮来 means exactly　－is it the same as 出来？ I think "且為此工" means something like "and is this smith's" 㞮来傑レ且為此工ノ最高作哉 "Magnificent craftmanship and is this smith's highest/best work alas!"

    I don't have a definitive answer regarding NBTHK/NTHK protocols but I would have thought as long as the features required for kantei i.e jihada, hamon, boshi are visible then it should be adquate for shinsa, even if there are other areas that are rusted or out of polish

    The lacquer incorporates abalone and pearl shells iirc it's called Aogai-nuri

    Looks like 兼松茂満 I think Kanematsu ?Shigemitsu

    As Jussi and Jacques have demonstrated from various sources there are few extant blades existing from the first 4 generations, let alone ones that have mei still intact. You should put yours to shinsa ofc but I would not be putting my hopes on yours being Kamakura/Nanbokucho Munemitsu. Much more likely late Muromachi or Shinto.

    The two on Aoi are 5th Gen One is dated Meio the other Bunmei
  18. mywei
    Adam That one is dated Tensho, end of Muromachi. Also known as Saemonshichiro I think it is 8th Gen

    Owning something so precious would probably cause me more stress than joy to be honest

    Jacque those Oshigata are of the Munemitsu from the Bunmei era - so approx 5th gen Does the Osafune Taikan have any zaimei from earlier generations - not sure any exist? According to my books 1st Gen - Showa, 2nd Gen Joji, 3rd Gen Oei, 4th Gen Bun'an For what its worth here are some later generation mei from Toko Taikan (6th gen and later)
  21. mywei
    Yes Munemitsu

    Sorry for being dense but what's the question being asked here? Do you own a kokuho Tom?

    I always liked the idea of Jean's Gokaden collection A juyo daito from each school, something like: Awataguchi Hosho Ichimonji Yukimitsu/Norishige/Go Yoshihiro Shizu Kaneuji

    Hard one for me I agree Steve it could be 鎚 after the 銘 I think the last character is 作 I guess this could infer that Tsukahara 'hammered' the mei which seems a bit of a strange way to put it Another possibility could be that Tsukahara served also as the hammer assistant "向こう鎚" while Kanetoki forged it (鍛)
  25. mywei
    Yes Kanenaga The mei, especially the way 'naga' is cut looks similar to a Kanenaga from Mino/Izumi province late Muromachi era Hope that helps
