Jiro49 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Posted June 24, 2013 Hello, I picked up a sword off ebay. The mei is Higo no kami yasumitsu, does anyone have any info on this smith? Maybe an obscure Shinto-shinshinto Naminohira smith? Any and all input appreciated! Thank you! *** Quote
1tallsword Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 hey Matt, can you post a picture of the mei, blade and nakago please. This will help as there were several generations of smithd by that name, cheers, Jeremy Quote
Jiro49 Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks to Andy from nihonto.us I have been corrected. Higo no Kami hata mitstuyo.... I thought the last kanji was saku Any opinions on the mei? It's looks pretty good.. Thanks! Quote
John A Stuart Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 This is [if shoshin] by either Mitsuyo I or II from Kanbunjidai, Genrokujidai. Mitsuyo I is a sort of famous guy bringing Mino style to Owari and Edo working for the Yagyu clan. John Quote
