  1. Hi, I have some doubt with the horimono, The "hilt" of the ken does not look like Sanjo Nagayoshi's. And about this smith i've found this below which seems complicate the subject (Token Bijutsu No.598 By Dr. Honma Junji)

    Hi, I think it is the really really really good Enju you have spoken in your post about the Kanji Ichi. It is really a piece of art; i guess the regularity of the kitae and of the dispersion of the nie is the same on the whole blade.
  3. Hi, All-interesting , thanks Darcy :D
  4. Hi, Keep your money in your wallet, this blade is greatly tired with a very big flaw in the kissaki. Take time to save more money and buy a decent Japanese sword and not a piece of metal.
  5. hi, about the second Tsunetsugu (Tenpuku) Fujishiro says this below:
  6. Hi, That's possible, Rai Nobuyoshi added sometimes kanji Ichi, but if it is... what for?
  7. Hi, Aoe Tsunetsugu was a goban kaji, he worked around Jôgen (1207) According Fujishiro, Naotsugu works exist from Karyaku, Gentoku, Kenmu, Kôei and Kan'ô. Same thing on others sources. Tsunetsugu = Ko-Aoe, Naotsugu= Chu-Aoe. Edit, After further research it seems there are two Tsunetsugu, Toko taikan listed one in Jôgen (1207) and one in tenpuku (1233).
  8. Hi, Eric, you don't need new glasses yasurime are sujikai on the picture like those of Rai Nobuyoshi, description seems mistaken.
  9. Hi, Think also Echizen no kami Minamoto** Nobuyoshi. edit: ** = Rai
  10. Patrick, Kane/Naomichi added a kanji ichi with his kikkumon and the tip of the petals is more rounded.
  11. Hi, James That's my personal thought, nothing else. As for the explanation pm was sent. I just want add this, remember the Mutsu Tadayoshi board's members told James it seems genius blade this blade was sent to Japan and obtains Hozon papers. This blade is already in sale (and not at a low price for a tired blade) There is also the Rai Kinmichi yondai. So i may be wrong and if it is the case, i apologize, but i'm wondering, and for good reasons. that's all.
  12. Hi, James, I did'nt know that you are a dealer. i begin to regret all free help i gave you. I don't love well someone who tries to take advantage of board member kindness. http://soulofthesamurai.piczo.com/?g=32 ... 3&nsrc=slh

    Hi,
  14. Hi, As promised, Shodai Nidai . Koza states a third generation but it says the sandai signed like the shodai, but with kesho yasuri and was greatly less talented (none oshigata in my possession).
  15. Hi, As i said i don't think it is the shodai or the nidai, As it is dark here at this time, i will post an oshigata to morrow morning.
  16. Hi, The reading is correct it is Yamato no kami Yoshimichi. I don't think it is the shodai or the nidai, maybe a later generation.
  17. Hi, In place of utsuchi, i would call this blade forgery (gimei) , In fact an utsushi is a copy of a masterwork by a talented smith but bearing the signature of the latter. Koyama Munetsugu made a well known gimei which can be called utsuchi but he was Munetsugu
  18. Hi, I don't think, the mannerism (way of engraving) does not close with this era; seems too large, too deep and looks too new.
  19. hi, always according the same books, in order to distinguish 倫光 from å‹å…‰, Tomomitsu was nickmaned Rintomomitsu (Rin is the chinese pronunciation for the ji 倫).
  20. Hi, Piers san, About the son of Kanemitsu (fourth Tomomitsu starting from the left), according Fujishiro and Nihonto Koza his name is written with the ji 倫
  21. Hi, Great Koichi san, Are you the hidden son of Sherlock Holmes? You could be a great private detective :lol:
  22. Hi, Sorry, i had not checked this name, i ought to have done it because it is the same swordsmith :?

    Hi, It seems you have missed the last train Jean :lol: Mishina san has ceased kantei since two monthes (the last one was june kantei)
  24. Hi, Being on a holiday journey, i have no books with me but i can say the Tadatsuna is absolutely gimei (a third generation is not well proven and if it were one it should be under the name of Munetsuna). Edit: mei reads Awataguchi Omi no kami Tadatsuna Ikkanshi (and not hori do saku)
  25. Hi, Nakamura san, are you mister Ping Lu owner of Samurai Kanetoyo shop? http://www.geocities.jp/kanetoyo2666/sh ... -info.html
