Steve K Posted Wednesday at 08:39 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 08:39 PM Hello, Can anyone please tell me what year swordsmith Kojima Kanemichi died? Also, I see from Slough’s book, pages 46-48, that he used the name Kojima Kanetoki earlier in his career (Slough shows a tanto dated 1936 with this name). His work in 1941 is signed Kanemichi (when he won Special Honor Noted Seat in the 6th Exhibition); does anyone know what year he changed his name to Kanemichi? Thank you very much. Your assistance is most appreciated! Best regards, Steve K Quote

Steve: According to Mal Cox's Gifu Tosho write up (available in downloads), he died in 1983. Mal has included a lot of information about Kanemichi you may find useful. John C. Quote
Steve K Posted Thursday at 01:02 AM Author Report Posted Thursday at 01:02 AM Thanks, John. This is great information and I will search for Mal’s write-up as you suggest. Interesting that Slough has his birth year as 1902, which is obviously an error. I appreciate your quick response, the photo, and the suggestion. Best regards, Steve Quote
