Now, why did I post this sword? Because, unless it has changed in the last five years, there is only one Kiyomaro sword in Europe ... That tells all....
I think it´s three. One Kiyomaro and two Masayuki.

I know that we already discussed Rai vs. Enju. This is just to show, why Enju is close to Rai.
And the Hankei. Well, I think I will not have a chance to make photos. But I will ask.

Once again a thread, where you really can learn something. Thanks to Paul and Darcy.
I only held one Hankei in my hands. I know many collectors were not impressed by this blade. But i was really fond of it. And i didn´t see it as a copy of Norishige but as a Shinto-blade.
4 blades by him are bunkazai (I think). And that doesn´t come out of the nowhere.
And just another point: "If You Can't Afford a Rai, Get The Next Best Thing ... Buyyyyy EnJUUUUU!

Thank you, Guido!
The site is online since mid of December. So, no wonder why you didn´t notice.
I hope, that I get in February some new swords for photos.

Hello George,
as Guido already mentioned, you see a tanto with sageo.
I don´t know how much money your are willing to put in the photo, but when I see samurai15 and all the dust, scratches and spots then for this part alone I estimate 3 - 4 hours work.
This is just a tenth of the photo. And after cleaning comes the color. So we talk about 30 h work. If it is done for free, then should be no problem.
Below I show you a postcard from my grandgrandfather (date 23.January 1901) and it took me 7 hours to get rid of the writing, the yellow tone, the spots, whatever...
Just to show you, what has to be done to your photo.

A great Man has passed. A great loss to the sword society.

Hi Iain,
I know a katana with exactly the same hamon. It is a Shinto-Jumiyo. And it is not sambonsugi as mentioned before. It is small-big-small-big.... Sambonsugi is small-big-small-small-big-small...etc

Just a short report from the last meeting:
Everything was very fine. Swords, tsuba and koshirae in high quality.
Kantei round 1
Nr. 1 was a tanto by Miayiri Akihira/1967. A Rai utsushi.
Nr. 2 a katana by Shinto Masateru,
Nr. 3 a Katana by Satsuma Motohira and
Nr. 4 a katana by Ishido Takatsugu / between 1684 and 1688.
Hope, to see you soon.

Carlos, just send it to Japan and get papers.

Okay, it is a wakizashi. But if you compare the first kanji, then you will see, it is not even close to your sword.
And the photo of the blade is a sudareba hamon. A hamon Tamba was famous for. And I don´t see any of this in yours.
In Fujishiro I can´t find a matching signature. Hence: gimei.

Hi Karl,
I think that is just belongs to the normal Kanji and is not a separate one.
Uwe G,
