I do not see this as a complex subject with a lot of varietys. Against the bushido code, against the religions and against the Tokugawa law. Starving ronins, grazy samurai... Best

But, there is a prophecy from advanced collectors and sellers that armor and also the fittings ( tsuba) markets will strongly grow and the sword markets will see an extraordinary slum in the near and middle future. So the study FB group makes sense.. Best

And Robert, it seems that Mishina Sensei did the second polish. And you are absolutly right, Naotane made a true copy incl. the 3 mekugi ana, the tang, etc. And yoshitane made a true copy of the horimono left over some hundred years ( evt. more skills on that )and Mishina sensei polished it to a true copy. Excuse me for that twilight pics.. Do not find the original Nobukuni, may be it sleeps well without any internet in Japan. So there are only two people to answer the question !! Best

Hi Robert, the tanto was polished by Mishina sensei ten years ago. Interesting blade history.. Best

Thanks Luis. Best

Jo Hoppen says " let the Hozon ident the sword, there is no need for higher papers".. Best

Yes, but I think the quality of the tanto, the horimono is extraordinary. The masame/itame hada is fantastic ( not seen in my awful pics) and so the hamon. To bad I'm not finding the orginal Nobukuni tanto. ?! Best PS and for the shinsa, no doubt..as time goes by..
