Infinite_Wisdumb Posted February 6, 2021 Report Posted February 6, 2021 Clear picture from me for a change! Any thoughts on what the kanji tell us on this one? Quote
SteveM Posted February 6, 2021 Report Posted February 6, 2021 Right side: 明珎宗義囗之 Myōchin Muneyoshi (?) kore Left side: 一芳斎元胤造 Ippōsai Gan'in tsukuru Ippōsai Gan'in would be the art name of Myōchin Muneyoshi.

ROKUJURO Posted February 6, 2021 Report Posted February 6, 2021 Steve, that is really admirable! Quote
Infinite_Wisdumb Posted February 6, 2021 Author Report Posted February 6, 2021 Kanji look like a stamp to everyone? Not chiseled? Quote
Infinite_Wisdumb Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Posted February 7, 2021 Well, it went for $1000 with a habaki and FK https://www.jauce.com/auction/q421704366 Quote
SteveM Posted February 7, 2021 Report Posted February 7, 2021 It was either an amazing bargain, or a wasted $1000. Looking at the tsuba close-up alone I was suspicious. Looking at the ensemble, I'm now a bit more curious about these. But I am always suspicious when there is a mei on an item/items and the owner pleads ignorance. Anybody savvy enough to set up a Yahoo Auction account is savvy enough to figure out a mei, one way or another. Quote
