Even repro swords with forged signatures is interesting. I got the one above in a pile of stuff a number of years ago. Dont think I paid mor than $50 for everything. I didnt even know what it said till recently. But I'm still interested in why the other name might have been added. "Yamaguchi Isamu". Forged is forged but they pick names for a reason.

Old topic but I found this interesting since I had an old sword that had the Inoue Shinkai signature. I just decided to try and translate the name and found this site. Sword isn't good quality so I never suspected it was anything but a fake, but still it's interesting with that name on it. And the other name too, whatever that is, Yamaguchi Isamu.
