lioneyes Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 anyone know about this era? I am told my sword was made during this time. Quote
Ichi Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 While Columbus busy ransacking America, early Muromachi was rather quiet, only quarrels among local daimiyos. Pre-dawn sengoku jidai -no big battles yet to change the course of history. It was not until mid to the end of 1500's when swordsmiths got busy mass producing blades for Nobunaga, etc. Some major events picked up from encylo.... 1506 Asakura Norikage clash the Ikko Ikki 1508 Ouchi Yoshiaki restore the Ashikaga Yoshitane Shogun 1509 Nagao Tamekaga defeats Uesugi Sadanori at the Battle of Etchu 1510 Ist firearm, a Chinese matchlock, introduced in Japan to Hojo family 1519 Imagawa Yoshimoto born Quote

lioneyes Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Posted September 22, 2006 So perhaps my sword is not one of the many mass produced swords of the later 1500s. That seems to be a good thing. Quote
lioneyes Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Posted September 22, 2006 who any of the swordsmiths of this period were? Quote
