Ray Singer Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Is anyone familiar with this gendai smith? Photos are of a sword that went to auction this week, which I unfortunately did not win. I cannot locate any information about this individual. Thank you, Ray Quote
george trotter Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Just a quick glance through the books...I could not find any Shinen. Under Iguchi I found two for Niigata (Echigo). 1. Uchiyama Chap II p.9 and Chap III p.6 says Iguchi (Sadaichi) Sadaaki was of the Amata Sadayoshi-Akitsugu school and was 25th student of Kurihara Akihide. 2. Ono 1971 p.297 lists for Niigata a smith called Iguchi Yoshio...but does not give a "go" name. I don't know if there is any link to your query. No other info...unless a member knows something? Hope this helps. Quote
Ray Singer Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Posted July 2, 2014 Thank you George, appreciate this info. Look forward to hearing more if anyone recognizes the smith or feels the mei characteristics match one of those you mentioned. Regards, Ray Quote
