Tanba Kami Yoshimichi ?real Or Gimei

[Cello]

So I think this read Tanba Kami Yoshimichi? If this is correct does it look to be a legitimate Mei to anyone?The blade measures about 15" and is shobu zukuri in shape I believe.

yasurime - wrong
patina on tang - awkard

condition - poor

signature - very questionable at best

Ok so the patina is a photographic issue and the Nagako is very dirty not taken care of properly.The handle hasn't been off since wwII era, it had a gauze wrapping over the mekugi that what so old it was disengrating.The state of polish is poor, and a few issues I know. What I'm wondering about is the Mei? It looks weak in some places and better cut in others?Also did I translate it correctly

Dear Marcello.

 

Your translation is correct but the second kanji is unusual for this school, you will have to do some research.  There are many generations but don't hold out too much hope for the reasons that Dirk has given.

 

Just to start you off have a look at these, http://www.aoijapan.com/?s=Yoshimichi

 

Have fun.

Thanks good to know I was able to finally translate a full Mei properly lol..... I was also thinking the 2nd charcter was odd looking. So far I haven't found anything even remotely matching the 2nd charcter

I think they were aiming for Tango instead of Tamba?

Blade looks a little rough, but i would study the work closely. i dont think this Tango, but Tanba. Take a look around for late generation Osaka Tanba.
