    mei help

    Jacques replied to EricM's topic in Nihonto

    Hi, I think the sword shown above is not from the nidai but from the sandai who was the second brother of shodai Tekai Nobuyoshi and signed (among others things) Echizen no Kami Minamoto Rai Nobuyoshi 越å‰å®ˆæºæ¥ä¿¡å‰. He also use the ji ichi just below kiku-mon(after 1688). Moved from Kyoto to Osaka, he was active between 1655 and 1703 the nidai (son of shodai) was active between 1673 and 1703 in the Kyoto area. Signed: (Kiku) Yamashiro no Kami Fujiwara Nobuyoshi (èŠç´‹) 山城国藤原信å‰.

    hi, I think it is a misunderstanding here, Isidro, When you see "For iaido" that means the blade has not enough artistic qualities ot too much flaws, but is is usable for practice (iaido or battodo or tameshigiri) These blade are real nihonto and can have paper. In Japan the term iaito is used for both alloy blades and shinken.

    Hi, According Roald and Patricia Knutsen in the book Japanese spears, this kind of yari is called "UEKAMA-JUMONJI-YARI". Always according this book, CHIDORI-JUMONJI-YARI is a yari where the main blade is flanked by two side blades, each downward drooping and having small pointed kissaki, suggesting bird's clawed feet.
