HI, Oshigata come from Kanzan Shinto Oshigata Dictionnary (which is an affordable book). But it doesn't contains more informations than those on the oshigata.
-
Hi, I have not seen this thread, but for those who can be interested by this smith:
-
Hi, Lee, Can you post a picture of this blade? Sometimes, photographies don't show up all details (it's why good oshigata are often better to compare).
-
Hi, Here Stephen :D
-
Hi John, This picture is badly blurry but it seems the name is Masayuki (i can't read the kanji between parenthesis)

Hi, Some (bad) pictures of Mino Kinju (Kaneshige) -
Hi, Lee, The blade on the last photo where is written the comment about the hooks, is from Kaei roku (1852).
-
Hi, Care to elucidate? Look at the picture below. More, the way of engraving on the blade we discuss has a lack of strength and self confidence.
-
Hi, Think it is gimei, Kyomaro had some special points in his mei and i don't find them on the blade shown by Slavia.
-
Hi, Maybe
-
Hi, I'm not an expert able to kantei this blade but i think it could be shinto; thereby i would like to see the start ot the hamon.

Hi, Sst, May be you can find some information here -
Hi, Below a link to the comment written by Clive Sinclaire about the V&A Masamune. http://www.to-ken.com/ (Click on sword register, sword number 56)

Hi, I have NTHK kanteisho dated from heisei 6 and it doesn't look like yours. Specially the mei is written in thick characters.
-
Hi, Darcy, If i were a forger, i would have exactly the same synthesis you have; and i would be almost sure that my "victim" would be less attentive with a Kanenori than a Kinju or other top smith. :D It is only only speculation, but that's funny to try to imagine the thoughts of a forger.
-
Hi, Not off topic, just an answer....., All Kanenori are not low ranked, and a kiritsuke mei to increase one sword value could be possible. That does not mean it is presently the case.
-
Hi, You're always right Jean Author: Honma Junji
-
Hi, You must be aware kiritsuke mei can be a way to increase the value of a sword.
-
Hi, I agree, it is a bad imitation (purpose of it?)
-
Hi, Strange, kao looks like Tanobe sensei's one.
-
Hi, Have you thought it can be a real nihonto just bought to serve as a bait?
-
HI, Horikawa Kunihiro had a kitae made of Itame with some Mokume, and he was ranked O-wazamono (excellent) :D
-
Hi, Oshigata i linked above are from Kokan Nagayama itself and i read itame everywhere (Bizen also). End of the debate.

Hi, Kanzan Sato Sensei and the NBTHK (and many others) say Itame, i'll follow this way :D
