Wickstrom Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 Hey guys, I recently acquired a katana attributed to Tensho Sukesada school with these papers. I was wondering if any of you fluent Japanese readers could possibly tell me if their is a attribution to a specific smith on the kantei sheet. I've been waiting for a nice sunny day to take some good pictures so I'll upload some shots once the opportunity arises. Quote
Nobody Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 The paper only attributes the mumei katana to a Sukesada around Tensho era. BTW, I might be wrong, but I am afraid that the paper itself is questionable. Compare it with the attached paper. Quote
Wickstrom Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Posted December 19, 2010 Compare it with the attached paper. I definitely see the resemblance between the papers, especially in the nakago rubbing. I bought the blade from a fellow member here who I trust, but I will contact him and try to find out the origin of these papers as it does look questionable.. Quote
