Lindus Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 A friend reminded me of a sword I did not buy in the 80's, a shin gunto mounted blade that had the most outstanding Hamon of several cherry blossoms floating on an undulating suguha. It was signed but cannot remember by who, has any member seen similar?, did not buy as the chap was asking around £400 which at that time would have bought at least one daisho or three civil & four gunto.

Surfson Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Sounds like Mishina school. I have a Tamba no kami Kanemichi that has a beautiful chrysanthemum floating on water. Quote
Surfson Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Here is a link that describes "kikusuiba", i.e. kiku flower floating on water. B http://www.ricecracker.com/info/yoshimichi.htm Quote
DirkO Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Roy, is this what you're describing ? Quote
Jacques Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Hi, Roy, This kind of hamon is called Yoshino (cherry blossoms on the Yoshino river). Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 Too fancy, but this scan of an old pic might be pertinent. Late Edo. Quote
Lindus Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Posted March 17, 2011 Hi Roy, is this what you're describing ? Yes as I remember, that is the Hamon. Roy http://www.collectorsloot.homestead.com Quote
