Milow34 Posted March 10 Report Posted March 10 I’m looking for any help towards translation and authentication of this signature. Any help would be much appreciated Quote
Shugyosha Posted March 10 Report Posted March 10 Hi Milo, Welcome to the forum. 和泉守藤原国貞作 - Izumi (no) kami Fujiwara Kunisada. It's a big name and often faked. You might get some better information if you are able to post some pictures of the blade as people will be able to see the signature in the context of the workmanship. Some more information here: https://www.nihontocraft.com/Izumi_no_Kami_Kunisada_mei.html 4 Quote
Milow34 Posted March 11 Author Report Posted March 11 Thank you so much for the response! I’ve tried to get a few pictures of the blade so I apologise now for my photography skills. The blade is in need of a polish but the hamon is visible in the right lighting and seems to curve back on itself towards the tip of the blade. Any further updates will be greatly appreciated. Quote
