FletchSan Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Hi All, This relates to the sword in my other post. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/19423-hira-zukuri-wakizashi-my-first-kantei-attempt/ I cannot make out the first character and have thought Yasu, Kore, Mori or Mune.... I used a hue / saturation filter to bring out the mei a little better which worked surprisingly well. cheers, Ben Quote
FletchSan Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Posted April 30, 2016 Thanks Steve - That is very close actually, I think you have it! Quote
Jim P Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Ben,The only Ieyoshi I could find does not look good Quote
FletchSan Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Posted May 1, 2016 Yes agree - though can't find too many other references to Ieyoshi. Was he a well enough known smith that someone would gimei or could this be an unknown Ieyoshi? Quote
