I am having trouble translating the characters on this nakago. It is the reverse of the nakago so I assume its the details of date etc, rather than the smith. Just received the Kokan Nagayama hardback - Connoisseur's Book of Japanese Swords - a very steep learning curve obviously. Unbelievably detailed - I don't know where to start. Cheers Andy |

Hi, Just wondering about some very basic or obvious aspects of a signature on a nakago. |

I have another wakazashi where I am having trouble deciphering the tang signature and consequently the age of the blade. I'm told it's Meiji period. Have added photos in a PDF showing tang with signature and also signature on kozuka, which is different. |

Hi I have recently bought three katana's from a Japanese sword seller. A Munetsugu that is a straight sword signed Bizen No Suke Munetsugu. A Nio Mitsukiyo dated 1550 with NBTHK Hozon papers. And a Yoshimori katana? The seller gave me some info about the sword. I have my doubts about the date, early edo period 1640.And about the name. Can someone tell me what the signature says about this? Thanks in advance! Greetings, Ed |

Hello, IRT E-mail conversation w/Stan, I would like to request a reading of my Wakizashi tang, if possible. I apologize for the pictures. I don't have a really good digital camera yet. I would appreciate anything you can tell me about this piece. Thanks, Justen |
