Kojima swordsmiths WW2 Seki

Recommended Posts

Folks, for those interested in wartime Seki swordsmiths we have done a compilation on the Kojima family (Kanemichi, Kanetoki, Kanenori, Katsumasa). 

This puts them in the pre-war, wartime and post-war setting of Seki.  Answered a lot of questions for us.

Article is in Downloads.

Malcolm does amazing and in depth articles that are highly recommended. Along with George and our guys in the Military section, we have a ton of info that I don't think has been compiled anywhere else ever.
Japanese military swords are booming currently and the market is very much alive.

Thanks all for the positive comments.  We both believe NMB is an ideal forum to distribute such background info and that the Downloads file is becoming a valuable "library".

I wish such material was available in the 1970's-80's and I salute Richard Fuller and Ron Gregory for their early compilations in English (their first book was November, 1978). 

At that time virtually any sword with a stamp was rejected in Japan.......in hindsight, based on this I let some beauties slip away!
