New Tantō Signature Help


Soshin

Recommended Posts

I have this new shinshintō tantō that picked up at the Tampa show last weekend.  I think the nakago read 'Sashū Mikawa Tensaido'.  The reading of the signature is based upon the previous owners notes.   The tantō is also dated on the reverse side.

 

Please note I am a professional Japanese fine art and antiques dealer and have studied Japanese language myself.  I often don't need help with these type of things but i can't find any information about this swordsmith.  I will at some point down the line use this information to help sell the Tantō.

I can't find reference to 天生土, but, I would posit it as being Amatsu, possibly Amato. John

 

Looking up the Kanji some more and these are also possible readings on the artist name.  Thank you John.
