Also, this is not an authentication paper of the blade's signature. This does not tell you that the wakizashi has an authentic signature of Shinkai, only the details of the blade itself for registration purposes.

Asum, thx. No I at least can Google torokusho and learn all can about it.  :-)

You are confusing the license (torokusho) with the authentication papers. This paper is the license. It just registers the details about the sword (length, inscription on it, number of peg holes). It makes no attempt to validate the authenticity of the sword. 

 

The green and white (etc.) papers are "authentication papers/certificates" issued by the quasi-official authenticating body (Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozoen Kyokai - aka NBTHK). The NBTHK issues papers validating the sword's signature, or, in the cases where there is no signature, they will give their judgment on who made the sword, providing the sword is a real Japanese sword and is in reasonably good shape).
