Help To Find Out The Smith


Recommended Posts

Hi Timur,

 

I think you should perhaps take a step back. What Ray is saying is that there is a strong possibility that this is gimei due to the placement of the mei. Also, IMHO it does look rather fresh for a group of smiths working around or pre-1300. Some examples of signatures here:

More examples and some prices here:

Best,

John

Thank you Ray! I will wait for your opinion on this subject. Tell me if you will need more photos. Thank you

 

Timur, pictures of NihonTo should be taken Without Habaki.

The first Mekugiana looks altered, like the Hi was made after it provoking its present day shape.

As Ray said, should be Tachimei...
