Ron STL Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Searching for the correct reading of this smith's name and also, if anyone knows anything about him. I've searched through Bungo-to without success. The sword belongs to an out-of-state friend who is equally stumped. Thanks. Ron STL Quote
mdiddy Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 I think it is Takada ju Morikata. Sue-Koto: http://www.sho-shin.com/sai13.htm Quote
Ron STL Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Posted August 16, 2013 Thanks Matt, you're 100%! I thought the first kanji looked like Mori but the bottom "box" threw me. It's not box shaped (5 strokes) but just not as well defined as it in Mori (six strokes). The Kata character threw me and I'm surprised I didn't see it in the books, being not a complicated character. Appreciate the help. Will pass this on to my friend. Ron STL Quote
