Hello guys, I am the new guy here, this is my first post. So please bear with me :) Question 1: Most sword made by Bicchunokami Tachibana Yasuhiro comes with a chrysanthemum crest but also some don't. Why is that? Question 2: What is the difference between a Bizen sword sign "Bishu Osafune Norimitsu" vs just "Norimitsu" ? Is the latter a kazuuchi sword or its out right fake? |

Hi folks! |
|||
Happy new year everyone, may your realistic wishes come true! I am wondering if anyone can help me identify by which sword smith this wakizashi was made. I have the following info: Kanewaka of Kaga Province and is dated 1656. Is Kanewaka the sword smith? There are multiple entries for kanewaka in the data base, but I am thinking this one: KAN2899. Is that correct? If so than this is the 2nd gen kanewaka (http://www.japaneseswordindex.com/kanewaka.htm)...? "Kashu ju Kanewaka" 賀州住兼若 What does the kanji on the other side translate to...? Thanks for your help, Chris |

I was recently gifted a katana and would appreciate any help in translating the name of the swordsmith on its oshigata. I have already translated the date shown on the left (Showa, 20th year, February), but have been unsuccessful in translating the swordsmith's name on the right. Any help would be appreciated. |
