Any one have information on " Soshu Kanemitsu " :D

[bahcode]

Hi - With help from some members i was able to translate the Mei on my Wakizashi. Reads : " Soshu Kanemitsu ". I was told there was only one listed in Hawleys, a Kanemitsu from Soshu in 1488 . If anyone has any other information related it would be great. Some questions i would like to know ? is it in the generation line of the Kanemitsu taught by Masumune or another Swordsmith. My other question is what type of point value does this swordsmith have. Was he a average smith ?

 

thanks so much

Darren

This is a bit!

Your wakizashi isn't of the line of Soden Bizen Kanemitsu; they all signed Bizen/Bishu Osafune. None of the references in my index contain oshigata by this smith; chances are there isn't much you can learn about him.

Hi,

 

Are you sure it is Soshu? There was a smith in Echigo around Bunroku who signed Esshu Ju Kanemitsu 越州住兼光 .
