Michaelr Posted February 17, 2022 Report Posted February 17, 2022 A fellow about a hour away from me said that he has this sword and he thinks it’s from the 1600. He sent me this oshigata. I know it isn’t very good but can anyone make anything out? Thank you in advance. MikeR Quote

tbonesullivan Posted February 17, 2022 Report Posted February 17, 2022 Any idea what he did to get those rubbings of the tang? I'm about to start TRYING to learn to get rubbings to see if maybe the paper can find things my eyes cannot. Quote
Stephen Posted February 17, 2022 Report Posted February 17, 2022 Do you have a copy of John Slough s book Modern Japanese swordsmiths? This is in the back of it Quote
Michaelr Posted February 18, 2022 Author Report Posted February 18, 2022 Thank you Stephen, yes I do have that book. The Oshigata I posted was made by the owner and was all I had but thank you again because I didn’t realize that was in the back of the book MikeR Quote
