Lindus Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 Just dug this out of the bag of forgotten,My original scribbled translation is.... Hizen Hirado ju Moriyama Suketsugu saku & dated Keo 3 year 8. Being a twit and selling most of my books would more sensible members confirm or not and give me some idea of who this chap is rank wise. Aikuchi mounted with horn fittings,Brokade covered saya with swastika mon , blade hira zukuri, all in good condition but blade would need a polish. Thanks in adv: Roy Quote

Lindus Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Posted April 22, 2012 Many thanks Moriyama san. Cannot find a Hizen smith of this name,a "Nobody" ? Roy Quote
Veli Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 Roy, This smith is listed in the Hizento Handbook (Eguchi Soshin/transl. by Gordon Robson) on page 172, but there is no additional information apart from the period (Keio, Meiji) Veli Quote
Lindus Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks Veli, so I finally find a Hizen smith that has not had twenty thousand words written about him . Regards to all Roy Quote
