Red Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 Hey guys just a quick questions. Can anyone translate or give me more informations about this Mei please? should be Muromachi period blade but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance for your help Quote
Geraint Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 Dear Michele. Welcome to NMB! (Please add your name to your posts, you can set it up automatically in your profile.) I would be interested to see photographs of the whole blade, the misaligned machi are interesting. Is the habaki a good fit? Just to add to Ray's translation look up Kai Mihara school. This is a good place to start, http://www.sho-shin.com/sanyo16.htm All the best 1 Quote
Red Posted May 5, 2020 Author Report Posted May 5, 2020 Thank you very much for the replies and help! Here other photos. Can you tell me more about the blade or the smith? What do you think about it? From my research the smith should be Masachika (https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/MAS40) or Masaoku (https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/MAS798) Do you agree? thanks again for your help Quote
