Ray Singer Posted October 28, 2023 Report Posted October 28, 2023 Quote This is a gendaito by the extremely famous gendai smith Yoshihara Kuniie. It appears that Miyawaki-san also originally ordered the blade itself. Shodai Kuniie was the grandfather and teacher of the mukansa smiths Kuniie II and Yoshindo. Congratulations!! Quote

Thanks that’s awesome. It’s probably a long shot but Is there anyway to find any history on who Miyawaki was? Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted November 24, 2023 Report Posted November 24, 2023 Nicholas, Would it be possible to remove the fuchi and check the wooden end of the tsuka for writing that may have the same name 宮脇- Miyawaki on it? Quote
Nicholas Posted November 24, 2023 Author Report Posted November 24, 2023 Theres some writing there. I’m curious to know what it says also. 1 Quote
John C Posted November 24, 2023 Report Posted November 24, 2023 Nicholas: I can tell you the numbers on the right of the picture (0) 652 would be assembly numbers. The left is probably the makers name. The red M (?) at the top is likely the shop mark. John C. Quote

Thanks for the info. I wonder what is on the left side. Quote
