W K Clifford Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 There were a lot of smiths whose mei contained the kanjis "Kunishige"(國重), but were there any who signed with just "Kunishige" ？any sample mei? Quote
Jamie Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 I believe THE Kunishige used a two character mei. Not sure if any others did. I believe there were three generations of Kunishige. Quote
W K Clifford Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Posted October 21, 2010 I thought the Kunishege always signed Hasebe Kunishige Quote
DirkO Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Yimu, Having a quick look through koto-hen and shinto-hen : KUNISHIGE ENJU [EITOKU 1381 ND HIGO] CHKOT CHJSAKU He is the son of Enju Kuniie, his works include tant, ko gonome ha. Signature: KUNISHIGE Plate I: KUNISHIGE The only one I could find with niji mei. Quote
W K Clifford Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Posted October 22, 2010 did he sign like this: Quote
Jamie Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 Here are some examples posted by Carlo on SFI, some time ago. I hope this helps you. I think this top one is signed in two character mei. Thats what the pic looks like anyway. It looks different than the example in your picture a bit though IMO. Can we see pics of the blade? Jamie Quote
