Hello all, |

Hello to all, i,m just new on and was wondering if anyone could read a tang for me, peter. |

I have acquired another Wakizashi. It is said to be Nobuyoshi, but not sure of era, school, date etc. I have included pics of 2 documents that came with the Wakizashi, but (blush blush!) they may be upside down. Any info appreciated. Baz |

I have aquired a Wakizashi, supposed to be Gen 1 or 2, 1390 to 1450. Smith is Nio Kiyonobu of Suo province. Any one heard of this smith. I'll try and get pics of tang posted asap. |

Hello, Nino |
|||
First a quick hello to all, I've enjoyed surfing through the pages of info and pics of your collections. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how to recognise if a signature is gimei..? The reason I ask is that I’m waiting for a katana to arrive with the below pictured mei to arrive. |

Description:
The blade is signed "Yamashiro koku nishijin ju-nin Umetada Myouju, Keicho10 nen 8 gatsu hi", owner's name "Maeda Tokuzenin". Edo period Ca.1605 made. The blade was badly rusted as i received it. The polishing was one of the hardest jobs i have ever done... As all the details are visible now, i just can say that it is a great piece of workmanship and every hour i spend on it was well invested. |

Item Type:
tsuba
Item Type:
Fittings - tsuba
Description:
Shape is Mokko gata. Traditional motif of Shishi dog playing with a ball and the butterfly is skillfully applied. The rope runs through mimi and goes to the other side. There is a plug made of shakudo on the inner side of kozuka hitsu-ana. Nakago-ana has been widened to accomodate a larger blade. Another alteration has been made presumably at the same time: lion's tail has been cut and the end of the rope beside the ball is flattened. It seems like this has been done to fit a bigger seppa. Width: 79mm |
