PNSSHOGUN Posted April 26, 2018 Report Posted April 26, 2018 Based on Nakago, Hada and Sugata I think Shinto would be more likely. 1 Quote
Itomagoi Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Posted April 28, 2018 Thanks for your opinion. Based on Nakago I think Muromachi period... So, I have a lot to learn. I can't see the boshi. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 I don't see anything to firmly indicate Muromachi period at all, especially on the Nakago. More research is always good, you'll start to see what we notice. Koto wakizashi tend to have a finer, smaller shape and larger sori with short Nakago. The patination can be darker too and the Hada will be looser and more prominent after multiple polishes. Look up Koto era Wakizashi online and compare yours, you will see what we mean. Quote
