Dear forum members, I was wondering if someone could help me with some extra information on the showa smith Mizuno Masanori. I have the following info myself: real name Mizuno Teizaburoh, born the 35th year of Meiji (1902), a pupil of Sakurai Msayuki and Morita Masamichi (Seidoh), living in Daido, Sakura-no-machi, Sakai City. just wondering if there is more on him. Much obliged, cheers Leen Leen

In the evening I was struggling with the fading daylight and the camera and etc. Moritisugu Norisada, a lucky day in march 1942 I believe. The blade has some staining here and there, but also one of the nicer hamon I've ever seen live on a gendaito. Allthough that doesn't say very much, because the Netherlands is not the best country to see lots of gendaito in hand. I thought I'd share it with you guys.

I do have other swords with original tassels (the blue brown type). I was and still am thinking it’s a reproduction. At first sight but also having compared it to the other three original ones I have. Further research didn’t change my mind, allthough it was fun to do.
