Jacques Posted August 17 Report Posted August 17 More than 70 Osafune Sukesasa, good luck to find this one. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted August 17 Report Posted August 17 The NTHK paperwork likes the ubu nakago, and talks generally about large numbers of such blades being made by the Sukesada smiths in the Sengoku period, this one 'late Muromachi' but is unwilling to specify further in any way. (The other local certificate simply records, stating that this is a faithful record of the blade and Mei.) You can spend hours and hours and hours in large sword databases comparing styles of Sukesada Mei etc., but when you come up for fresh air it is rare that you will be further enlightened. A glimmering picture may be forming in your mind, however. The blade patterns can also help. 1 Quote
