I corrected the title

Saburo Kunimune could be also a good answer. For people who have Markus Sesko book Koto Kantei, look at pages 134/135. He was also very good at Ichimonji style.

The main difference Robert is in the steel. Bizen smiths refined their own ore. Generally shinto swords shinogi ji is masame, but I have seen exception

Robert, It is not really a sansaku boshi, it is more like some kind of classical boshi where the hamon enters straight in the kissaki and then is perfectly parallel to the cutting edge. The typical sansaku boshi is generally pointed and is rather straight or inward curved fom entering the kissaki then goes straight to the point before turning back. If you want examples of what is a sansaku boshi, take Markus Sesko book, Koto Kantei, and look at Nagamitsu oshigata.

Patrick, It is a possibility as well as Kagehide who had the same hamon or Nagamitsu but no sansaku boshi. Ichimonji is also a good call, Fukuoka in particular. My feeling is Hatakeda Moriiye

Very nice -
Yes, they are Charlie. Generations and dates are often controversial but Markus based his estimation on signed and dtd blades.
-
According to Markus Sesko, considering the date 1555, it would be the 3rd generation, though they indicate nidai. For Markus nidai worked from Meio to Eisho.

As time passes, the corresponding table between the different organizations kanteisho is less and less true, even more since NTHK split with the creation of the NPO organization. I had a private talk with a friend about kanteisho. He told me that since NBTHK has a competition system for higher kanteisho, some yushu blades would hardly get NBTHK TH nowadays.

What did you think of it Dave?

No I received it, that is why I am surprised you did not get it as we ordered at the same time. But as time passes, I am more pessimistic...

I am very afraid there won’t be any reprint but I am very surprised as I ordered my copy between the 8th and 10 th March

The best I can do with my ipad, before taking my Slr camera but have not time for this, our old cat being in emergency.

Site is down. Already this morning there was no new items for sale....

First Generations were very good and produced very good iron. Then as time passed, they were mass produced, copied... A good one is worth more than 1000$. Here are two from my collection, the colour is deep chocolate brown

No scales

Thanks Franco, funny that wari bashi are used as well as mimimaki or hair pins and not Kogai (in prints and text). Only Henry if he has the books provided in his links, can tell us what is said about Kogai and its use unless another member has them.... You will notice that, generally, only better koshirae have both kozuka and kogai, that samurai have always (in pictures) neat katogan and that the Kogai is always in his slot...
