    Good condition! Nice matching iron fittings! Real tsunagi! Last but not least, more than reasonable priced! I like it! But I'm the armor guy here, so what do I know.....

    I think it reads "Jōshū"!

    Seems to bear a Christian motive....?!

    Well done ✅

    Well, implied we have the Mei right, then only one "Munesada" left. According to an entry in the Shin Katchushi Meikan, he was active around the mid Edo period and lived in Edo. The Myochin genealogy (most faked genealogy ever...) mentioned him as an son of the famous "Muneakira". It is said that he worked for the Asano family and was also known for high quality iron tsuba!

    There was indeed a "Shōmin" around 1879! However he used a different kanji (勝) for the first character....

    It's true, I can attest. But in French.......(sooo hard to read for me) :-/

    I assume, it is a late interpretation of an "torikubi no tachi" (bird neck tachi). Mei seems to be "Norimune"?!

    Thanks Morita san! "Munesada" is possible. But then it should be "...Minbu..." instead of "...Shikibu..." don't you think?
  10. uwe
    My guess is, "Myochin Shikibu Ki no Munechika saku"!

    Just noticed this thread. Damn, he was younger than me. This makes me sad and also thoughtful..... RIP Thierry! My condolences.

    uwe replied to Stephen's topic in Katchu

    Yep! Have a look at the auction result.....

    If the following character (cut off) belongs to it, this kanji might have had a diffrent pronunciation....

    Saw this writing for "shu" befor. I think on a kabuto, for "Esshû" province....

    I remember some pics, taken in an certain Japanese museum. Several blades there, were also coverd in red/brown lacquer.

    Hi Ed, the nengo is a bit odd. Can't also make out the last (or last two) kanji?! Given the "kakitsu" reading is right and considering shape and state of the nakago, it is quite possible!
  17. uwe
    Last kanji for the nengo seems "haru" = "Spring"... Some doubts about the "Kami" reading of the Mei?! Maybe "ue" or "jou" The latter can also mean "superior quality".
  18. uwe
    "Kakitsu" seems matching. Nice buy, congrats Ed!

    The katchu-bunnies will be there in May

    Dare a guess..... "Sanami Nyudō Nobuie" ?!

    Hi Dave, no clue how to do the pictures properly. But you probably can ask Uwe G! He's a member here and a very good (and talented) nihonto photographer.
  22. uwe
    Dave, I'm pretty sure it's "Izumi no Kami ??", like Steve's reading suggested. The last two kanji are more or less illegible for me. Better pics needed, also for your "boshi" call!

    From Sendai over Kaga to Hosokawa.....like the tansu`s
