ChrisW Posted January 2 Report Posted January 2 I'm afraid this is a clear case of a Chinese fake/reproduction. The Japanese never put kanji on a blade in this manner. 2 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted January 2 Report Posted January 2 The second photo is upside-down, but even if it were correctly positioned, KANJI in etching technique are not seen on Japanese swords, as Chris stated above. The first photo is not nicely focused, and we should see the complete NAKAGO (= tang) without HABAKI, oriented vertically (tip-upwards), and with light from the side. 1 Quote
