ROKUJURO Posted November 4, 2024 Report Posted November 4, 2024 I have this (probably KOTO) TANTO, but I cannot read the MEI in full. Any help is appreciated! 1 Quote
Ron M Posted November 4, 2024 Report Posted November 4, 2024 This almost looks like it’s supposed to read “Fujiwara Ju Yasumitsu” but that seems unusual. Sorry I can’t read it better 2 Quote
Ray Singer Posted November 4, 2024 Report Posted November 4, 2024 Fujiwara ju Yasumitsu. Fujiwara ju (藤原住) is indeed quite unusual to see in a mei but there are a few cases. https://nihontoclub.com/view/smiths/meisearch?type=All&mei_op=contains&mei=藤原住 1 1 Quote

Smith3d Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 I believe I have a sword from the same maker. Rokujuro, if you have any information about your sword I would like to know. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted January 6 Author Report Posted January 6 Chris, obviously, the KANJI are similar but the script is different in my eyes. By the way, YASUMITSU is not a rare name among swordsmiths. Also, the shape of the NAKAGO is completely different so very likely another YASUMITSU. 1 Quote
