John A Stuart Posted March 28, 2010 Report Posted March 28, 2010 If it is the Echizen Kuniyasu, the date period would be first half of the 15th century. Moving from Yamashiro to Echizen, Rai school originally if this is the same smith. Do you see Muromachi Rai characteristics? Ko-mokume hada, nie utsuri, muneyaki, medium width sugu mixed choji midare of various types, later period nioi deki, ashi, yo, kinsuji, inazuma. John Quote
