I am pretty sure it is one of his Utsushi - sorry all the info I have is in that link...

Thank you Morita San.

It is a "Gyotaku" of a little tanto blade - it also includes an oshigata - I will post pictures later. I am also curious about the line "Ike no naka" - was it found in a pond? -t

Very impressive Steve, I expected to wait a few days for someone to even notice - thank you! -t Ditto Brian.

Here’s one - I know this is from the Sasafuku-jinja dated 1995 - I know the subject is a tanto by Kunitomo but cannot understand more than that. I thought about emailing the jinja but thought I would try here first. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, -t

Earlier designs were just cut outs in the shape of a namako, the whole being much thicker, it then became much airier as in the examples by Musashi. Here we see thickeer versions, one with actual hitsu-ana, a more photo~realistic Higo version and an actual pair of namako... -t

"Something" Ichimongi, but not "Kiku" HELP!
Toryu2020 replied to Bruce Pennington's topic in Translation Assistance
Bruce - Kiku Ichimonji refers to the retired emperor Gotoba, not a Shogun. It has come to mean "A-Number One". So Seki Ichimonji may mean the artist made works in the Bizen style and are meant to be "the Best". I am sure this points to a particular smith and a short search would turn up who that is... -t -
Generally takes about six months - that being said they are working thru them now and I am being told end of January they will be mailing me. I then have to sort, address and mail them out from here... -t
