I would have thought Kanetomo 兼伴 I find none that match though I haven't gone through all resources. John

 

Ah, I didn't recognize / find that version of tomo 伴. You guys might be probably are right.

 

Move along, nothing to see here... :lipssealed:

 

Out of curiosity John, when you say you find none that match, I presume you mean no matching oshigata? Because there is a line of Koto Mino smiths signing with 兼伴.

Once again I thank everyone who helped. I was not sure how that last kanji would be taken for Tomo but the very reputable dealer from Japan stated it as a variant of Kanetomo but did not give the other version Kanemasu. As a result I could not try and cross reference. I have now found one point in the English (Afu) translation of Nihon To Koza that lists a smith Kanetomo who also used the name or was known as Kanemasu (pg51). This might have been what he was referring to when he gave the translation. Under Kanemasu (Era:1467) I also see three varaints in which this smith is known. It is very interesting. Once again thanks for all the help. Now I am on the right track.
