  1. Yanagawa ju Kunihira (can't quite make out last kanji to be 100%) 柳河住國平 
  2. I like the matching FK and tsuba. What was the blade that it was made for?
  3. http://www.hyozaemon.jp/product/musasitarou/ wakizashi though. I think his blades are fairly popular in Japan. (the sword of the main chara in Sword of Doom, the movie adaptation with Nakadai and Mifune is one of my favourites)
  4. Paper attribution to different school as Jussi said. Bingo Goami Masanobu, sue-Mihara derivative school I think. So not ko-Gassan at all! Hope the seller is simply mistaken and not trying to fool you
  5. Top offering! I particularly like the hada, can see shikkake hada in some of the pics too
  6. Hi Joe I think the customer's name was Yamazaki Asamasa 山崎旭勝 . The middle bit 法光院 Hoko'in sounds like a ?temple that the customer may have been affiliated to, not sure. Hope that helps  
  7. Yep according to Markus' resources 1st gen Tegai Kanetoshi (包俊)was active Eitoku- Oei 1381-1428, so late Nanbokucho to early Muromachi
  8. I wouldn't say its terribly done Kanesumi saku 兼住作 might be gunto smith Sato Kanesumi 佐藤兼住
  9. Wholeheartedly agree, caught my eye immediately. Worth it for the quality and healthiness of that sublime masame hada alone imo. Some one on NMB - grab it!!
  10. I think 小隠 is pronounced as "Sho'in" (on'yomi)
  11. I think it must be a stylised version of 隱 
  12. Mantetsu kitae zou kore Spring 1943
  13. Quite an interesting topic. Markus' article was very illuminating for me. It seems that not only signatures that were altered for 'superstitious' reasons i.e Shimosaka or Muramasa, but also ones altered for potential unscrupulous reasons i,e the Nengo date change from Tensho to Eisho are accepted by the NBTHK Its not gimei as only a few of the characters in the mei have been altered
  14. 昭和 甲申春 1944 Spring 義治 Yoshiharu
  15. https://www.aoijapan.com/wakizashimuramasa 4.5M¥
  16. looks like a really good piece even if not legit kiyomaro. worth a bid either way
  17. Agree with Kanabo Masashige not 100% on the middle bits. 金房(?左近将監)正重
  18. Looks like Bitchu Kuni ju Tamenaga (為長)
  19. ill take a punt at Yamato Shizu as well
  20. Somin saku 宗眠作
  21. It is read top down, R) to L). Ill do the katana pics In the 1st pic 土州住人 (Resident of Tosa) 而 摂州大和守吉道門人也 (Also a disciple of Settsu Yamato (no) Kami Yoshimichi) 地刃典型矣 (The jiba is typical) 2nd pic 刀長貳尺壹寸五分余有之 Sword length over 2 shaku 1 sun 5 bun 3rd pic 庚辰年極月下浣 Year 2000 (stated as zodiac years) late December (in old form) 田氏道宏識 Written by Ta-shi Michihiro (Tanobe Michihiro) Hope that helps
  22. 土州住人而摂州大和守吉道門人也 地刃典型矣 Student of Yamato kami Yoshimichi of Settsu, and was a resident of Toshuu (Tosa). Jiba is typical. then has nagasa, written by Tanobe sensei

    can someone point out on the ko aoe Kanetsugu blade where the retempering was? I think I can see what Jean is talking about but not 100% sure
