Hi all, 

Was researching the group of smith in page 119 of the Kurihara Hiko Saburo Akihide Zen Kiroku. Wanted to confirm whether this guy is Ota Chikahide ? 

Attaching 2nd picture found in another reference book for comparison 

 

Tks

Ronnie

Gentlemen,

 

In may search on this magnificent forum for Akimoto Akitomo I found this post (quoted) wich includes both wonderful pictures but also some very competent translations of names.

Hi Peter,

I'm struggling with the parts highlighted in red. Here's the script from beneath the photo. I'm struggling with the middle rank as (probably due to me misunderstanding "oite" in this context) the order seems to be out of sequence, so whilst I've given you the names, I'm not sure who they belong to.

 

大日本刀匠協会発会の折, 栗原邸を訪全国の刀匠.

Swordsmiths from the whole country visited the Kurihara mansion on the occasion of the first meeting of the Greater Japan Swordsmiths Association.

Hi John,

Enthusiastic amateurs are we all (maybe with a few exceptions:)). People like yourself who willingly and consistently engage in sharing experience, opinions and knowledge is just the true “backbone” of this community. I’m constantly amazed of how much thought, time, experience and accumulated information this forum contains. If someone, some day and somehow find the opportunity, ability and time to sort and index all the information this forum has accumulated - then I believe it could be worth of the title “ Nihonto World Heritage Site” / NWHS :bowdown:

 

PS. The NMB title is by the way fine as it is 😎

I'm surprised this one hasn't appeared before.

It's Kajiyama Yasutoku (my sword's maker) with his son Yasutoshi standing at the entrance of the Yasukuni smithy circa 1938/39.

(The building looks exactly the same now.)
