Do Shoshin and Gimei refer to the sword or mei


Recommended Posts

Ed your sword has what is called a kiritsuke mei (切付銘) added signature. Those are slightly different from original signature and they can be judged on their own. Sometimes when a sword passes shinsa with a kiritsuke mei that needs bit more research there can be a addon after it [と切付銘がある] which just means there is a kiritsuke mei but in this case they do not totally confirm it.

I already uploaded two new versions, and am optimistic that we now arrived at the final one. A huge "thank you"  goes to Barry Hennick and Robert Hughes for making valuable contributions. Canadians to the rescue! :)
