Bugyotsuji Posted Wednesday at 12:13 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 12:13 AM It appears to say 備州長.... or 備前長..... but for some reason the rest of it is missing. Why? What it tells you is that it was made in Osafune, which is in Bizen/Bishu (same area), one of the five great traditional swordmaking regions of Japan. What has happened to half of Osafune, and the name of the smith which would normally follow? 2 Quote
