it kinda does remind me of my muromachi example and kinda look like #5 and #6b(muromachi). I don’t know enough to weigh in. But I’m sure photos without the habaki, and over head, including the nakago would help others. Also Nagayama’s book says kasane is useful for attribution so would help if we had a photo of the mune. Not sure if I’m just paranoid but the nakago looks odd somehow.


It’s a shame when eBay vendors break their stuff with a buffing wheel. I made the mistake of buying from someone this forum warned amateur polished/acid washed his wares. He used low res photos hiding damage and promised me it was okay. Needless to say I regretted it and should have listened to the warnings here.
