Name Of Activity?

[jct3602]

(1)  Are the protrusions towards the ha considered ashi or something else?

 

(2)  Is the whole formation some particular form of Shinto "created" hamon, and if so, what is it's name?

 

 

Thanks,

looks like an area of "crab claw" chogi

Any better pics John? John

I agree with the crab claws, however it kind of looks like cut-through of a lotus flower.

like Goldie locks its too small or too big out of focus , wanting one just right

Reminds me of the Mt Fuji hamon a little but out of focus and a bit short. Cheers.

For John Stuart:

    More pictures, but given the file compression involved (this site appears to use a 20-1 ratio) and the inadequacies of my new camera (had a 16MP Samsung 6; went to the Samsung 7, it has a lot of improvements, but they dropped to a 12MP dual mode camera to help catch moving images; sadly it does not come close to the fine detail that the 16MP had.  Would not have thought there would be that much difference).   Also, the blade is very tiny - motohaba is 2.0cm and sakihaba is 1.45cm with a 1.75cm kissaki, so the details in the pictures are relatively tiny.  The width from the edge of the ha to the shinogi in these pictures is around 1.3 cm at most.

    As for the MT. Fuji possibility, the opposite side of the blade has something similar to "Mt. Fuji in clouds", which I will include.  The signature is either gimei or daimei; purports to be Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi of the Mishina schools.  Can find no generation of Tanba no kami Yoshimichi that matches the chisel strokes (also no kiku mon), so hopefully will find someone at the Burlingame Token Kai who can help me out.

These little teasers really make me think Fujiyama-hamon. John

Hi, John Stuart:

   Thank you - believe you are correct.  Never thought of the Mt. Fuji formation as a periodically recurrent motif; it would seem to fit with the mei.  Am trying to get an add-on lens for the Samsung 7 which allows ultra close-ups; perhaps then better pictures than teasers can be provided.

 

Yours,

There is no file compression. Just upload pics in 72 or 96 dpi and they will come out just fine. You don't need large files. Just clear ones.
