Matsunoki Posted December 7, 2022 Report Posted December 7, 2022 Hello from the UK Can I please ask for help with the Mei on this unusual wakizashi? I will post the blade in full in the Nihonto Forum. The blade has an unusual sugata……hirazukuri on one side and Kiri ha on the other. The nakago is ubu. The Mei is cut into the actual blade rather than the nakago. The sword has masses of activity visible under a very heavy layer of either old grease or varnish! I have managed to get “Bizen Osafune Yokoyama Sukekane” but I’m lost on the preceeding inscription. Absolutely anything that you can tell me would be very gratefully received. Why signed on the blade?? Many thanks in advance. Best wishes.Colin Quote

I now own the blade as an example of something a bit eccentric…..even more so given the crazy Mei! Difficult to understand what the significance is. Very grateful. All the best. Colin Quote
