    嗨 nickm，在我看来就像一把好的手工中国剑。为什么不参加纽约代币 Kai 会议或联系 NMB 经销商。您加入了 2018 年，为什么要采用苦涩的 ebay 方式进行收藏？

    This kanemichi is not the founder of the mishina school, the founder was Noshu seki ju Kanemichi whom later signed also O-Daidô so we are not sure if there is one O-Daidô or two and if Noshu seki and Mutsu no kami are the same or not.

    In this sayagaki,Tanobe Michihiro sensei write This kanemichi is founder of the Mishina school.

    I think O-Daido and Kanemichi is the same person

    From the shape: Nanbokucho, Momoyama or Shinshinto.

     

    Now elimination begins: 

     

    From the Boshi: Ichimai with long kaeri. Koto: Go/Sa school. Momoyama: Yasutsugu, Horikawa school, Shinkai. 

     

    Hamon: angular (box-like) choji in nioi-deki with profuse tobiyaki, long ashi. No direct koto hit. Hadori is a little hard and follows a notare pattern while the work is executed with angular ups and down. 

     

    Hada: standing out itame with nie and chikei. Soshu vibe to it. 

     

    The combination of the boshi stucture, jihada and choji doesn't fit neatly in any obvious Koto box. The work feels one level above shinshinto.

     

    Condition: There is either a slight machi-okuri, or none at all. This points to a sword made with nanbokucho sugata in later period length. It is probably ubu, with a second mekugi ana added either to fit a new koshirae or done at the same time the signature was erased to appear koto. Near the Nakago, the hamon begins in a shinto-like fashion. 

     

    All of this leads me to a Momoyama period smith. Out of these, The Horikawa and Yasutsugu school were some of the most prolific. They have some work compatible with the shape of the boshi, hada and box-like choji. There is a certain koto renaissance inspiration to the work with mix-and-match of the five gokaden. The sword is well executed with a lot of jinie and active hamon which feels slighlty contrived, something with you often see in these koto revival work. This brings me far from my area of focus, but I'll bite: 

     

    Idea 1: Iga no Kami Kinmichi

    Idea 2: Yasutsugu

     

    Impressive answer !

    I can understand that it is believed that nagamichi studied with kotetsu seeing this blades next to each other. 
     

    But is there any historical  evidence except of their workmanship for knowing each other ? 

    Kotetsu maybe born in A.D 1605 , and A.D 1678 passed away. At the age of 50 star to make katana(1655).

    Nagamichi born in A.D 1633, and A.D 1685 passed away.At the age of 26 used signature is "Mutsu Daijyo Miyoshi Nagamichi"

    And Nagamichi also have other nickname "AIZU MASAMUNE".

    So,maybe just same style to make sword.

    Yes, but we must judge the difference of level over the whole career. Nagamichi is known to make a hamon (sori too) in the same style as Kotetsu but the resemblance ends there. As for the nickname, it doesn't mean much in reality.

    Sure, Just like Kiyomaro, We call him Yotsuya Masamune. when you see a real Masamune, you will know is different. Nickname, just for funny and praise. it doesn't mean same.

    There is a resemblance in the design and the width of the hamon but we can't talk about similarity in terms of quality, Kotetsu being far superior to Nagamichi.

     

     

    ps does this kotetsu have papers ?

    Hi Jacques, yes, Tokubetsu Hozon Paper.

    Anyway, In a smith whole life, then will make alot katana, and There are differences in quality and style.
