Moritsugu Norisada


Leen

Recommended Posts

In the evening I was struggling with the fading daylight and the camera and etc.

Moritisugu Norisada, a lucky day in march 1942 I believe. The blade has some staining here and there, but also one of the nicer hamon I've ever seen live on a gendaito.

Allthough that doesn't say very much, because the Netherlands is not the best country to see lots of gendaito in hand. I thought I'd share it with you guys.

Very nice work...great to see choji-gonome midare on WWII blades, It's amazing what turns up.

Hope I'm not distracting from the topic...but here's that hamon on my Tsukamoto Masakazu of Fukushima dated 4/1942...RJT smith but this one is no-star private order.

Enjoy, 

PS  Brian, is that WWII polish on yours?
