Echigo no kami Kanesada - 2nd one....

 

if I'm not mistaken made by the same artist as this one: http://www.aoi-art.com/sword/wakizashi/10329-3.jpg

...I came to the above conclusion based on the posting mentioned before

 

- pic & text below are taken of it:

"Special feature : It is said that the Echigo no Kami Kanesada the 2nd

was born in Mino or Kochi province. He learned under Kanesada the First at Osaka and later became a son-in-law. Kanesada the 2nd was

superior to the Kanesada the 1st and ranked at Owazamono. Excellent

workmanship was on the same level with Tsuda Sukehiro and Inoue Shinkai. After retirement, though practically gave the swordsmith

name Echigo no Kami Kanesada to his real son Yamada Iwamatsu,

the Second Kanesada continued forging sword under the name of

Sakakura Gonnoshin Terukane.

 

This blade is typical 2nd generation Kanesada’s work, " End Quote

 

 

Just to make it clear my sword is not the one mentioned in the posting.....

 

Thanks for your feedback!

By the way, where did you buy it? Does this forum have some black list of unreliable shops or anything like this?
