Well Made Gendaito

Since seeing this one, keep coming back to it, plenty to appreciate. Figured it was worth a look for the board:

Thanks for the link, Jeremiah. That is a beauty!  If you don't already own it and are interested in modern swords can I recommend this one,  http://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com/store/books/b347-gendai-nihonto-no-seika-translation

 

The whole exhibition was brought to the UK under the auspices of the Token Society of Great Britain and we had the extraordinary pleasure of a hands on viewing of all the works.  They were amazing!  The catalogue is very good and cheap as chips from Greg.

 

Enjoy.

 

all the best.

nice blade made by the modern day Muto school.  the lineage as described is a bit confusing -- So Hiroshi aka So Munehiro aka So Yasuhiro seems to have been a student and possibly a relative (nephew?) of So Masumitsu the father of So Tsutomo.  

in any case, nice ara nie and kinsuji here.

hmmm... i guess So Hiroshi is the same person as So Matsumitsu/So Munehiro/So Yasuhiro after all.  confusing that he has 4 different names and I misread Masakitsu in the text as Matsumitsu.  

anyway, someone got a nice blade.
