pcfarrar Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Anyone have any ideas on this gendaito mei? Thanks, Peter Quote
sencho Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 備後国住谷岡泰次 Bingo kuni ju (tanioka) yasutsugu.....???? kanji 5 and 6 are many combinations.... Moriama san or Morita san will probably have a better idea.... 7 and 8 I think YASUTSUGU.... but not sure... again combinations, #7 can also be TAI.... The stamp looks like kanji #7 Cheers! Quote
sencho Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 from Dr. S's site..... WWII Japanese Swordsmiths Ranking 谷岡 泰次 (Tanioko Yasutsugu) Although I think the romanji spelling should be TANIOKA not TANIOKO... http://209.85.207.104/search?q=cache:SR ... =firefox-a cheers! Quote
pcfarrar Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks! I couldn't find much on him in my books, not in Slough. It's an interesting gendaito, pure masame hada. Quote
