doomsdaymachine Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 can anyone get anything out of this? all i can make out is fujiwara. its a neat wakizashi, tired but intact, in complete shikomizue mounts. thanks everyone Quote
k morita Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 Maybe shinto blade. See Markus's Meikan " Senriki " (千力) in Higo or Tosa. Quote
doomsdaymachine Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Posted October 21, 2015 thank you, morita san! i looked up marcus meikan. i assume i need to buy the shinto meikan then? Quote
cisco-san Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 Hello, from Markus´s Japanese Swordsmith book: SENRIKI (千力), Kyōhō (享保, 1716-1736), Higo – “Kumamoto-jū Fujiwara Senriki saku” (隈本住藤原千力作) Quote
doomsdaymachine Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Posted October 24, 2015 thank you too, schicker san! looking at this piece, it is far too polished for an average shinshinto blade. the ha machi is tiny. there is also some odd color on the nakago, so possibly saiha, i suppose. fine by me, though. i like the mounts. thank you both for the help!
