Ko vs Sue Mihara

[Jimmy R]

I am looking for pictures of Bingo Mihara works across the spectrum. Also if anyone knows of a definitive book I would love to own it. It can be in Japanese as well. I am also interested in the specific direct links to the early Yamato Den and how it influenced the bingo mihara smiths. I am working out some theories.

Thanks,

Jim

If anyone has any resources on this topic I would be very grateful.

Hello Jim.

 

I am sure Kevin won't mind me posting this link to a sue koto Mihara blade on his site. I look forward to hearing your theories when you have got them to a point where you feel ready to share.

I will also look for an article in JSS/US which appeared some years ago on a mumei Mihara wakizashi.

 

 

All the best.
