    Hi, Hoju blades are usually iori-mune. This one is maru-mune.

    Hi, The shodai Yasutsugu i stated above (does not resemble yours) :

    Hi, I've never seen a Hisayoshi/taka's work. Concerning the one discussed here, i don't say it is gimei, i just say i don't find a characteristic which seems permanent on Kawai Hisayuki's mei.

    Hi, Look at the kanji Yuki 幸, whatever the style the central vertical stroke is always engraved in two parts (oshigata below) I do not find this particularity on the sword discussed.
  7. Jacques
    Hi, Yes and it has the feature about which i speak.
  8. Jacques
    Hi, Shodai Yasutsugu produced ko no te gashiwa (different hamon on each side).

    Hi, At this time? none, but that does'nt mean it can't be; Hisa yuki is a jo-saku and at this title, he is susceptible to be copied. Something on the mei discussed makes me uncomfortable. Can you find what?

    Hi, Below the three koto Sukemitsu 助光: Yamato sukemitsu (kamakura era, Shôan 1299) Bizen Yoshioka Sukemitsu (late Kamakura era, Karyaku 1326) Goshu Ishido Sukemitsu (seems there is not extant works)
  11. Jacques
    Hi, Yes if it turns to be shoshin and if it has not lost its hamon.

    Hi, It is your money, if you want to waste it....this blade is not well forged and only a miracle will be make it "nice". Sorry for my frankness

    Hi, After having checked my books attentively i can say that Iimura (shinshinto taikan) quotes this kind of signature :D

    Hi, I you begin your married life like this, you will go on a wrong way During his Honeymoon, my grandfather pampered my grandmother very well. After, when they were back at home, he told her: You see what i did for you? Hence you will do it for me Japan could be a good idea if she agrees.

    Hi, Sugata does not lead to these periods and the style of engraving the mei (dotted) seems very strange.
  16. Jacques
    Hi, I dont' think Kawai Hisayuki is the good horse; according my books, he never signed Fujiwara.

    Hi,

    Hi, Sorry guido, i've forgotten that germanic people is not very easy with *second degré*/tongue-in-cheek. My remark was referring to Moriyama san's pseudonym

    Hi, Nobody's perfect
  20. Jacques
    Hi, You recognize only “saku” kanji correctly. "Shu" is correct too :D I applaud your efforts Mark Edit OOPS, i need to open my eyes this morning i confused shu 州 with kawa 川

    Hi, According this list, Hirata Hidemitsu was a seki smith.
  22. Jacques
    Hi, At first sight, the nakago jiri eliminates the Tegai school. Seeing the whole blade (with measurements) should be helpful.
  23. Jacques
    Hi, This mei looks amateurish to my eyes, I hope to be wrong but i've a bad feeling with this blade; it looks like some blades made for tourists in the late Meiji.
  24. Jacques
    Hi, The kissaki seems have been broken and repaired, i hope the boshi does not get out.
  25. Jacques
    Hi, Sometimes i'm really wondering.... Where is the resemblance with the ji kura 藏? In all case it can't be Sendai Kanekura.
