Recommended Posts

Hello, I am here hoping, once again, that the valuable members of this forum will share their vast knowledge! :)

 

I had posted a sword a while back and the smith that made it was indentified as...

 

----

a pupil of Toshihide, Numazawa Toshimitsu made".

FYI; He is listed in the group of CHUGE SAKU (???) on the following page.

http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/tosho.htm

----

 

furthermore someone else pointed that

 

----

 

Numazawa Toshimitsu/ real name was Numazawa Takeo)

 

----

 

while I was spending some more time reading different posts I came upon an answer posted by Stephen pointing to the "Gendai Toko Meikan" index.. I did a small search and came up with this..

 

This smith is listed on P.161 as Numazuwa Takeo - Toshimitsu

 

My question is.. which spelling is correct.. numazAwa or numazUwa?

 

and could anyone point me to an article about this smith??

 

again thank you very much in advance for any information..

 

Sincerely

Koichi-san,

 

Domo arigato gozaimasu,

 

I was wondering if the mispelling could have been carried out to other publications as well...

 

Could anyone tell me more about said smith?

 

Thanks in advance
