I now have 6 of his on file - 3 Showa stamped and 3 Seki stamped. Interestingly, this one has the bamboo leaf tsuba. After checking, his blades show up in quite a variety from Type 98, to presentation tachi, to Gunzoku (bamboo leaf), to civil fittings. Quote
george trotter Posted August 31, 2022 Report Posted August 31, 2022 Hi Bruce, Over the decades I have seen one or two of his work in hand, which were also seki/showa stamped... I can't remember ever seeing a gendaito by him though. Keep up your much appreciated work Bruce, you are a 'goldmine'. Geo. 1 1 Quote
