Help with the sayagaki

[Viper6924]

Hi Guys!

 

Need some help with the sayagaki on this waki. The mei reads "Moriyasu" (i think).

 

I know the picture is bad. But I hope You can make something out. Also if You have some info about

 

this Moriyasu. Haven´t found very much so far

 

I´m very happy for any help.

 

Thanks!

Hi Jan,

I can hardly make out the details from the pic, but I think the sayagaki says in the top 4 kanji "Osafune Sukesada"

I think the mei on the nakago says "Bizen Kuni Osafune Suke(sada...?)"

 

I may be wrong..

The writing on the saya suggests the mei on the blade and the name of its owner when it was submitted.

 

長船祐定 銘 伊藤總一 提出 (Osafune Sukesada mei, Ito Soichi teishutsu)

Thanks a lot for Your answers. I´m acctually helping a friend with this sword. He was told that it was a Moriyasu-mei.

 

Well, who ever told him that is no expert on kanji :lol:

 

So it´s one of those Sukesada-blades... Looks pretty solid anyways.

 

Great job with the sayagaki.

 

Thanks again!!!
