Tim Evans Posted August 1 Report Posted August 1 His linage is not detailed in the reference books I have. It may not be documented, since Bob Haynes would normally note that in the artist entry. The book I am referring to is this one. https://japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com/store/book/fittings-books/b760-the-index-of-Japanese-sword-fittings-and-associated-artists-by-robert-haynes/ This is one of the best English to Japanese tosogu artist reference books available. I think a good purchase if interested in collecting signed kinko tosogu. 1 Quote
