wonderful sword - - terrible picture.

The large inscription says something like "CHO DO SAKU" I suppose that could be a name but it might also mean something -- like "Single Tool"

But to return to the main point. This is a nice blade. Please give it a bit (!) of oil and thumb rubbing to expose the complete inscription. Orient the nakago so we cam see it, and show it to us again,

Dear Stephen.

 

 

A ken with horimono?  So far it would suggest that the name on the right of the nakago is the name of the smith who also carved the horimono,  is there anything on the other side of the nakago?  I think we would also like to see photos of the whole thing. 

 

By the way, please add your name to your posts, you can do it in your profile.

 

All the best.
