Anyone know swordsmith kato Seiju?

[Yuradneprov]

Looking to buy a sword mei says “seiju” anyone familiar with this swordsmith?

[Ray Singer]

Use the reading Moritoshi for your research (盛寿) rather than Seiju.

[Yuradneprov]

Moritoshi and seiju the same?

[Ray Singer]

Different reading for the same kanji. 盛寿 is documented with the reading Moritoshi.

For example.

I do not see a record specifically for 加藤盛寿 as attributed here.

Yuradneprov, please list your first name on all of your posts, per Brian's rules. Easiest to set it up in your Signature, so you only have to do it once.

from Markus book:

MORITOSHI (盛寿), Tenpō (天保, 1830-1844), Dewa – “Ushū-jū Moritoshi” (羽州住盛寿), “Tōto ni oite Katō Moritoshi” (於東都加藤盛寿)
