Pretty sweet package.

[lonely panet]

i feel uneasy about commenting on this, 

 

im by no means knowledgable on yasukuni-to. iv only own 1 or 2  so far

But  the mei and nakago make me look twice, firstly the very crisp condition ?? and then the way the mei is cut. YASU is struck different to the ways listed in the book, is it Dai-saku???? or a students work??.

 

also the mei goes on to read " ozu motomeni"  I cant read the rest. so who was this sword forged for ? would this affect the way it was signed??

 

I think  more educated person's should add there thoughts on this sword because personally im alittle "alarmed " is this  a gimei??

why are there no good photos of the hamon or hada??

PS, in the words of david Flynn or  "im talking out my ass"

At least your bringing up conversation, ass wind or not i hope it entices conversation thanks Hams

Hmm...the blade isn't giving away much. Mounts are lovely, nice package. But can't see the blade quality from the pics. The buyers will know, if it stays low, then there is something wrong.

i think it's a nice package. But. Yasumitsu died in January 1941.
