Loooking For Info On Nakayama Yoshimichi

[Jiro49]

I am trying to find more info about a shinshinto smith who worked in Musashi, Nakayama Yoshimichi per aoi-art "Yoshimichi is adoption of Ikkansai Yoshihiro".

 

Any help is appreciated!

 

Regards,

This is all I could find:

 

 

I am by no means an expert, but I wouldn't touch this thing. Certainly not for 3700 USD. Aoi Art sometimes offers some nice stuff for sale, but nothing they sell is truly a bargain. I have bought a few items from them. This is like bobbing for rotten apples in their big bargain bin. The koshirae is horrible (just my opinion).

 

You could buy a good used dirt bike, or a really nice new kitchen appliance for $3700 USD. Save your money for something better. If Shinshinto, it should at least have a signature (mei).

When Tsuruta san says that it is recommended for lai practice, basically he's saying that this is a "beater sword".

Sure. All of that may be true, but what other site offers fun facts like these:

 

Historical Background: Record debut of ‘The Beatles’ at September 7, 1962.

 

I'm not sure how that relates to a sword made my Sakai Shigemasa made in 1969, but hey, I learned something today.

Thanks Aoi Art!

Appreciate it!!

 

I actually bought the sword minus the koshirae for cutting. Just was a little curious about the smith..

 

Thanks again!

First time I actually looked at the sword. Very pretty and very similar to Ikkansai yoshihiro's flashy (some may say gaudy) hada. Nice pick up. I wouldn't cut with it, but it's not my money so have at it!

Historical background is serious stuff just like this 1783 brandy being a very good year

 

The Beatles is big business in Japan. Tha Fab Four broke up in 1969 so maybe that should have been alluded to instead of their debut recording.
