Hi all, long time lurker here. I've been more of a tosogu person, but just bought my first nihonto and could use a little help dating it and ascribing den. I've done a little research (after buying, instead of the right way round) and am pretty sure it's Bizen and probably late Muromachi? DUe to the two character mei, it may be kazuuchimono, but i don't have the experience to really assess that and can't find many examples online to compare. Apologies for my poor photos; i've included the set of auction photos as they're much better than mine. Anyway, here's my ignorant attempt at kantei. I would appreciate corrections from the experts here. Nagasa: 45.6 cm toshiisori: 1.3 cm Moto-haba: 2.8 cm Saki-haba: 1.8 cm Moto-gasane: 0.7 cm Saki-gasane: 0.5 cm Jihada: Itame with mokume Hamon: Nioi-deki. Hadori makes it look notare, but is more midare choji. Some yaki-kuzure and sunagashi. Boshi is notare Chu kissake with (average?) fukure and notare boshi that matches on both sides. Haagari nakago with sekigane in the ana and 2 character mei. Can't make out yasuri. Mei (2 character) "Norimitsu." I found a couple of other examples with similar hada and hamon signed Norimitsu, and a 3rd example (looks to be better quality) with a longer mei, but the nori and mitsu charaters look really close to mine. http://kako.nipponto.co.jp/swords2/KT214559.htm http://kako.nipponto.co.jp/swords/KT127655.htm https://tokka.biz/sword/norimitsu.html
