Rich S Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 Steve - As I'm sure you know Fukumoto Kanemune was the son of Amahide. Many of Kanemune's mei are Nakarishi Mei (signed by a separate mei cutter). There are many variations. I have three on my oshigata page. Rich S Quote
loiner1965 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Posted August 10, 2009 hi rich. yes i knew amahide was his father and kanemune was the chief smith at the plant....your site is most valuable indeed and full of needed info. kanemune also signs some swords with a different mei according to a very experienced member on here and i have one of those too..Kanetoshi (Kumazawa). it was kanetoshi mei that comfused us beginners recently if you remember.
