Marius Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Dear All, I have a nice Kanbun shinto wakizashi which has some weird origami attached to it. I know from the seller that the origami attributes this sword to Tadashige (Fujiwara Tadashige, Settsu - as some Forum member explained "He was a pupil of shodai Tadayuki, and he also produced in Edo". The signature on the sword is - not that I can read it - SESSHU IKUTAMA NO SHÔ INOUE FUJIWARA TADASHIGE My questions are: 1. who has issued the origami? 2. Is it a known organisation or dealer? 3. What do the papers say if (if they say anything more than I already know)? Thank you for your kind assistance, I am obliged :-) Oh, and for the curious - here are some pics of the sword as well :-) Quote
Nobody Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 This shop seems to be the issuer or the agent for the organization. むさし屋 (Musashiya): http://www16.ocn.ne.jp/~musasiya/token.htm Quote

leo Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Hi! The company who issued the origami calls itself JTKK (JUYO TOKEN KENKYUKAI). Regards, Martin Quote
Jacques Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Hi, A little correct about the mei, it reads Sesshu Ikutama no shô Inoue Tadashige. Quote
