This Masahiro was said to be the son of Kunimasa, another Yamashiro smith rated by Hawley's at 75 pts.

SwordGuyJoe Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 All, As most know - the sword is outside my area of collection, so I can't and won't speak to it and save myself the embarrassment. But for those that haven't dealt with Ed, he is a fantastic seller. Top notch guy!
Jean Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 Horikawa school is fantastic. I have seen tokuju blade by one of his student, speachless... btw. The hada is typical of Horikawa school.
DanielLee Posted November 23, 2015 Report Posted November 23, 2015 I still think about this Osumi no Jo Masahiro which I once examined http://www.tsuruginoya.com/mn1_3/f00018.html
