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. |
