mywei Posted May 30, 2024 Report Posted May 30, 2024 Does anyone know of this organisation that has come up with certification for this yari by Etchu Kami Masatoshi on Aoi? I've never come across this 'Hojin Bijitsu Token kantei club' before? https://www.aoijapan...ords-appraisal-club/ Quote
Geraint Posted May 30, 2024 Report Posted May 30, 2024 Dear Matt. That's quite the koshirae! More information here, https://shibuiswords.com/papers1.htm All the best. 2 Quote

I wonder what the "heart" design habaki stands for, it would be nice to know, is it some regional variant? I have seen it more on ken than other blades. Edit: I see, its religious symbolism.
