Hello everyone, I’m hoping to get some help from the community in learning more about the smith associated with a sword I recently purchased.

According to the dealer, the details are as follows: Period: Northern and Southern Courts Period (Nanbokuchō) School: Sagami-den Possibly connected to one of the disciples of Masamune |

Hi - my name is Karl I have purchased this sword some time ago and it is the only one I do not know either the construction period nor the maker. I have asked the Japanese seller to give me some information but, all he could tell me was that the words probably read 'Syu Kaifu Jyu Mune' and that this sword was probably made in the Tokushima prefecture. I however could not match this with the database available. It would help to know that I purchase it in its shirasaya. |

The father-in-law brought a sword home from WWII. After many years of it hiding in the back of the closet, he's gone and the family is trying to figure out what it is. I notice it has a take-down screw in the handle, rather than a pin, which leads me to believe it is a manufactured item rather than an older craftsman build. I'm new here so I will try to attach a photo of the markings on the tang. Any help you can offer will be gratefully received. Thanks! |

I received a Tanto as a gift many years ago. This Kozuka came in the pocket of the koshirae. I would appreciate any help identifying the signature on the Kozuka and the Kogatana. |
