Hello all,
I recently purchased this sword and was wondering if anyone could direct me to sources of information about it. Included with the purchase was a copy of a sword journal page where it was referenced (the red boxed text). I'm having trouble translating from Japanese and could not get a good answer from the seller (possible language issue) about why he thought the text specifically referred to this blade.
In addition, the signature appears to be fujishima which would place this possibly in the muromachi ouei era. I'm fascinated by this kind of history but in my limited experience and available books I haven't been able find great sources to dig into histories of lesser sword schools (at least in English). I attached the NBTHK certificate in case that helps. Apologies, in advance, for any fundamental ignorance on my part.
Thank you for any help/information!
Sincerely,
Tristan
