  8. Kataoka Ginsaku wrote: There is a KO-WAKIZASHI made in Matsushiro, province Shinano, a commisioned work for the Zenko-Ji temple. The short wakizashi was made Tempo 7th year ( 1836 ) So the Chi-ya-no reading on the Nakago is the Shinano and the Katakana stamp is the town of Matsushiro. The AOI description of the blade as a Sunnobi Tanto is probably the Ko-Wakizashi mentioned above. Naotane made several unique commisioned works on his long travel route, so some stamps were made only once. Find no other example.
  9. The client ordered a nice blade, but the koshirae is special..may be Edo special ?
