Help with the service for Tanobe sayagaki


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for someone who can provide me with the service associated with a possible sayagaki from Tanobe sensei (if Tanobe sensei is willing to provide sayagaki for this blade)
The blade is located at a dealer in Tokyo.
It was purchased in the condition of ububa. After purchase, the blade was newly polished.
Despite the poor condition of the original polishing blade passed Tokubetsu Hozon

Seller photos show the original polish

 

Thank you in advance

Robert Hughes may be able to help but he usually handles it for swords when he is acting as agent.  Not sure as he is not in possession of the sword.  Sounds like someone will have a lot of work picking it up or receiving it then getting it done then getting it back to whomever.

Ubu-ba is typical for gendaito, and gendai often remain ubu-ba after their next post-war polish unless there is significant rust or damage that needs to be addressed.
