gandalf Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 George--thank you for your help---you made a reference to Hawley which i understand but there is a reference to TK 106--- what exactly is that Quote
george trotter Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Sorry, I should have explained. The TK 106 is "Toko Taikan" (Swordwork Compilation) by Ono page 106. The Kanenaka listed is from 1558 and as yours is dated August 1457 it must be a different smith. The other one is from 1668 so also can't be yours. I just commented that the 1558 signature shown in TK 106 looks very similar in style to the way yours is cut. Regards, Quote
cabowen Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Toko Taikan was actually written by Tokuno, not Ono....Might be easier to find with the correct author..... Quote
Jacques Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Hi, Mino Tô Taikan lists a Kanenaka around Bunmei (1469/1487) son of Kaneyoshi. No Oshigata. Quote
george trotter Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Oh yes...my mistake, Chris is right, the author is Tokuno ...I had the book in front of me too! (brainfreeze), sorry. Regards, Quote
