    hi, According Nihonto-koza (Koto part II, Mino-den, page 69). Jitetsu (first period) : As for the kitae, those with a hint of masame mixed in Itame are the most common. (second period) : As for the kitae, a hint of Masame mixed in Itame is the most common, and rarely a pure masame is seen.

    Hi, Maybe, seeing the whole nakago and blade should be helpful.

    Hi, We are very far from hizen school features (konuka hada etc...) i don't think there's something interesting to study on this blade except learning kizu and what is a tired blade. Too expensive for this.

    Hi, Sorry, i've made a mistake about the winner of the shogun competition, it is not the yondai but the sandai (3th) who won. About this competition, i don't have more information. Reshaping a nakago is never a good thing. This blade could be tired, i've noticed some thing on the kiku mon, it upper part has vanished it is also a sign. Look at this one below which is tokubetsu hozon.

    hi, It is the yondai (4th) Rai Kinmichi, he recieved his title on 1692, he won the Shogun competition in 1722. This signature looks genuine :D

    Hi, Think also it's shinshinto. To my eyes, it's not a so great blade, jigane seems uneven and the nioiguchi seems hajimi in some places.

    Hi, Are you sure it is the kanenori who moved from Mino during Tensho? I've this one where the style (tagane mannerism) is more resembling. There are nevertheless some differences

    HI Jean, believe it or not you make me woder about an Honami Mitsuyoshi that seems to me to remember adopted a Yasukuni smith named Yoshiaki Sugano Kosuke that seems to me to remember was fashinated by copies that seems to me to remember it's bedtime because I'm tired... :lol: From sword to.......... phono cartridge.

    Hi, The signature is Bishu Osafune ju Sukemitsu 備州長船ä½ç¥å…‰ According Jean (and some others) who is a specialist of Sue-Bizen, this Blade is gimei at 99% So, a blade which can be gimei more a nakago which don't match =
  23. Jacques
