Sue Sa / O-Sa

[klee]

Im not sure if it s Aoi s english wording but is this sword attributed to Sue-Sa AND O-Sa.

 

The certificate seems to have both as well but wouldnt these be very different atteibutions ??? Granted it s still within the same school.

The attribution is to Sue-Sa 末左. NBTHK started adding 大左一門 in brackets around latter part of 2016 I believe. I think this was possibly done because people did not understand what Sue-Sa meant as an attribution and had misconceptions and thinking it was meaning Muromachi. Now perhaps in this style people will understand it better as a Nanbokuchō attribution.

Thank you @Jussi Ekholm as always for your encyclopedic knowledge 🙏🙏🙏

 

With that said , I really like this blade. I would be bidding away if I had the funds 😭

It's clumsily worded but the listing says "Sue Sa / O-Sa School" and the O-Sa School is precisely what Sue-Sa is.
