Bugyotsuji Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Hello Henrik, I've already done it for you. Is this a different thread? Can you get a clear shot at a different light angle of that last kanji? 白陽....任(?) Hakuyo.... nin(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugyotsuji Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 No, that one I translated for you on the other thread. It's 知道Tomomichi +作 saku (made by) , but Sasama says that apart from being a mid-Edo armorer, nothing else is known about Tomomichi. Some kabuto signed Tomomichi are known, however. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugyotsuji Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Ah thanks, that confirms it. It's not text, by the way, but Tomomichi's art name, 白陽任 Hakuyonin. Even that is more than Sasama knew! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik S Posted February 19 Author Report Share Posted February 19 Thanks for your help! since I’m a beginner I’m not sure what this means, but if I understand you this is a unknown smith and not a famous one. So regarding the value it really doesn’t matter. But I like that we/you might have contributed with his artistic name wich was previously unknown. best regards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugyotsuji Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 As to value I think it helps in general to have a Mei on it. If it’s a well-known name you may have the issue of possible gimei (fake signature) but although your smith is listed ( a good thing) there would be little point in faking that particular signature. So, overall, a very good first purchase, I reckon. PS I like the way that little windows are opened in the lacquer to show the probably original signature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
