Soshu Tsunahiro 13th gen.

[Karusk]

Soshu Tsunahiro 13th gen. From the collection of Kunio Izuka founder of the  new york token kai. Signed Masamune Masson sagami no kuni Tsunahiro. A day during the third month of bunka(1816) O Watanabe Kore Ju. (Special order and name?). All the strokes are very light and the yasurime as well. From what i can find this is characteristic of this smith. I tried and tried ti get it to show up sorry ill need to powder it and dont want get crap all over it. I also tried to get the hada to show, its visible to the eye but extremely tight and apparently impossible to get to show in a photo. From a very trustworthy dealer with a guarantee to paper if i send it out. He says there is a paper somewhere and when he finds it hell let me know. Im not super good at schools but it most definitely seems soshu to me. 

 

Ever see a blade and immediately have to have it?🤣 I usually stay away from anything younger than shinto but this one yelled at me rather than spoke. 
 

Id like to know which part of that is the name of the person who ordered it. Kore ju  Im assuming. Any idea of who that was would be appreciated. 
 

Not for sale😑.

Rofl i assumed my assumption was wrong too😂. Thank you! Honestly super surprised you could make this out. It was super difficult to get to show up. I need a better camera.

The translation was almost perfect. There is no name who wrote the sayagaki in your posted image.

Alright thanks for checking it out!

I'm loving the adoption of that translation technique where colours are used to show which part translates to which. Thank you Steve, and to Koicho for using it. It really helps with learning.
