  2. Hi Kevin, very nice Nagamitsu. This one was in my collection.
  3. Hi John, Katsumura Masakatsu and his father working in Yamato-Den. Both made very nice swords.
  4. Wow Ray, this was super fast. Thanks a lot.
  5. Hello, a friend of mine bought a sword. He has removed the handle and the Nakago is signed. Can someone please help with this? Thank you.
  6. The tanto has arrived and I was wondering if anyone could help me with the rest of the translation. 劔銘 天久美 ト號ス – Sword’s name: It is named 天久美 (reading?). 齋火結凝ニ依リテ拝戴ス – It was given through 齋火結凝 (unsure: something like Shinto rites?) 神族・・・・誌(wrote) – (unsure)

It was made at the request of Sakurai Saburō, on the ocassion of the 13th anniversary of the passing of his relative Sakurai Tomiharu, who was at one time a Lieutenant colonel in the Japanese Imperial Army. Tomiharu was born in Sendai city on January 23rd, Meiji 19 (1886), and died at the age of 89 (1975) in Kawagoe city. *2 This means the sword was made around 1988. A very unique Katana made by Fujino Ikkansai Masatsugu, real name Fujino Yoshisaburo (藤野芳三郎), was born in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture, and lived in Kagemori City, Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture. According to the All Japan Swordsmiths Association he passed away in 2019. He is listed in various sources as Fujino Masasuke (藤野政丞); Fujino Masamitsu (藤野正光) or Fujino Mitsumasa (藤野光正). He was one of the five students of the famous swordsmith Sakai Ikkansai Shigemasa (b. 1905 †1996), whose real name is Sakai Hiroshi from the Kasama school. - Sakurai Saburō, was also a lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Japanese Army. This is evident from documents provided by John (PNSSCHOGUN). - The tassel is a original one, but I added to the sword. I buy it without tassel. - Serial number 29 is present on all fittings and on the inner wooden saya. - In keeping with the Sakurai family, the mon (family crest) in the form of the sakura (cherry blossom) is on the kabutogane and on both sides of the habaki. - A donation will be made to the NMB if sold.

Gen. he sighed in grass script 7. Gen. 8. Gen. no honorary title Chikugo no Kami 9. Gen. no honorary title Chikugo no Kami
  11. Miyaguchi Ikkansai Toshihiro - civilian name “Miyaguchi Shigeru” - Yasukuni name “Yasuhiro” They seem to be personal photo albums from him. But I can't translate and match the photos. https://buyee.jp/ite...=service_page_search
  12. Do any of you have a picture of Wakabayashi Shigetsugu?
  13. Thank you both. That's why I'm hoping for someone who has more signatures to compare. From a collection or books. The sword on the left is the same, but the angle when photographing another. :-)))
  14. I know that some Kanji in the Mei do not quite fit. But Sugata, Hamon and Hada do fit. I can't find much to compare online. If someone has a Shinto book I would be happy. My books are for Gendaito.
  15. Hello together, I am trying to find out which generation my Chikugo Kami Fujiwara Kunifusa (筑後守藤原国房) is from. There is not much information to be found, but at this link I think I have a match. According to the description, it is the 5th generation of a total of 9 gen. https://www.seiyudo.com/ka-010711.htm Left is my sword, right from the link above. I try to make good pics. What do you think? In general, infos about the kunifusa line would be interesting for me. For example, did the 9th gen. stop forging swords after the Haitorei-edict? Thank you for any help.
