Hello, all.
I have a couple questions regarding the first Nihonto I bought. It’s a katana by Yasutomo with an old NBTHK Kicho origami. The paper attributes the blade to “Late Generation Aizu Yasutomo”. Do any of you have any idea which Yasutomo this is? Anyone after 5, or probably 7, 8, or 9? I realize without a signature, they were just guessing. Does the sword seem to be stylistically more Shinto or Shinshinto? I have four Sesko books, and he lists a lot of Yasutomos from Sendai, but I didn’t see any Yasutomo entries with anything mentioning Aizu, nor do the Nihonto Club entries mention Aizu. Do you think NBTHK messed up, and should have said Sendai Yasutomo? Can any of you share any information regarding Aizu Yasutomo?
Thank you!
