Popular Post Vermithrax16 Posted September 9, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted September 9, 2023 This has been a top goal of mine for some time. A long time. While not quite 100% complete (need a signed Norikatsu tanto), it's still something I am excited about. A full set of masame hada works by the great Shinshinto smith Norikatsu, with one by his finest student Masakatsu, to round out the set. Often in our study and searching, a million things can and will jump out at you, temptation is everywhere. Staying focused and with your primary desires in mind at the end, is as rewarding a feeling as one can have. At least it feels that way when I lay out this family of works. Katana: “Made by Katsumura Norikatsu, resident of Suifu ‒ “On a day of the eighth month, Keiō three (1867)" Wakizashi: “Made by Norikatsu, a resident of Mito, on a day of the third month Bunkyū one (1861)" O-Tanto: unsigned: Mito Masakatsu 16 8 1 Quote
Gakusee Posted September 10, 2023 Report Posted September 10, 2023 Cool! Congratulations and enjoy them Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted September 10, 2023 Report Posted September 10, 2023 Birds of a feather flock together. Can't beat that feeling of satisfaction. Sometimes it's the serendipity that first draws your attention and opens up your eye and your understanding, allowing you to form certain goals ahead. Did you choose, or were you chosen, to educate us re these Mito smiths? Quote

Mito Norikatsu I think is the most grand of all the makers, but obviously, I have a bias 2 Quote
