    Hi, I think high ranked daimyo wore tachi and tanto, not daisho which were worn by samurai.

    Hi, Ok Thierry, i didn't read the advertising, however, personally, i would say clearly if the blade is gimei or not. Jean, One ealy Kiyomaro for sale: http://www.samurai-nippon.net/V-328/

    Hi, http://www.nipponto.com/Sword/detailkiyomaro.html This seller is honest and says this blade is gimei. Not the case with komonjo

    GENDITO OR NOT

    Jacques replied to mizuta's topic in Nihonto

    David, I believe the Japanese consider some swords made even after 1876 to be Shinshinto. The Shinshinto Taikan illustrates such swords made well into the 20th century. I'm guessing (because I can't read Japanese fluently) that that is why they are included in the Taikan??? Regards, BaZZa. In the Shinshinto taikan (vol. 2) it is clearly spoken of Gendaito (see chapter title page 231).

    Hi, 27 inches long is a katana not a wakizashi, however, the shape looks standard for a shinshinto blade, and at first sight it seems gimei.

    Hi, Paper say kodai 後代 (later generation). Mei location should not be the only criteria. that doesn't mean i think that it is shoshin.

    Hi, According Fujishiro sensei the theory of first and second generation is unclear and shodai Muramasa is "Sengo Muramasa, however Shodai Muramasa nagamei are not uncommon and he signed SEISHÛ KUWANA JÛ FUJIWARA UEMONNOJÔ MURAMASA among others.
