Endo Mitsuoki with Horimono


Recommended Posts

I have been very fortunate (imo) to become the current custodian of this sword. It was briefly posted on this forum quite a few years ago but I am pleased to show it again with a few more images. I would greatly appreciate any and all comments/opinions as I’m sure knowledge has increase dramatically in more recent years. I also hope some of you enjoy looking at it despite my poor images. The habaki and the press stud are silver. The saya is metal. When first posted “Nobody” on this forum translated the 2 Mei and I attach an image of that. I think it is a very elegant blade that has obviously seen action and survived.

I have a couple of specific questions-

-can anyone say what the Kanji on the leather saya cover tell us?

-do we know anything new about the smith or the horimono cutter?

Many thank in advance
