	#1Submitted by Spektrat on Wed, 2011-11-16 17:35. Yoshiyuki Hi there Stan or possibly Stan : ) I am doing some research on a YOSHIYUKI sword and I'm stuck and have been so for the last months. I got some help from Peter Mc Cafferty and he sends his regards. Do you have any references of smiths signing YOSHIYUKI? This smith might have changed the way he spelled his name. Attaching image via hyperlink: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37236755/YOSHIYUKI.jpg Regarding name changes... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37236755/YOSHIYUKI%20-%20KUNIHIRA.JPG Stay safe and be well! Another thing! If you have sent messages to me via "spektrat@hotmail.com" I have not recieved them. Somehow the email address have been wrongfully put there. By me obviously. /Martin - NIHONTO EUROPE Login or register to post comments

There's one but from Hoki, not Bungo. I'll check now if he worked in Bungo too or there's somebody else who signed 吉幸. Regards, Stan Login or register to post comments


	#3Submitted by saipan59 on Thu, 2011-11-17 02:33. not YUKI ? My wife doesn't think that it's YUKI. She studied her books for awhile, and the closest thing is TSUMI (old Nelson #786). The form is not quite the same as shown in Nelson, but rather she found it in a dictionary that shows multiple alternate styles for each kanji - under TSUMI/KO there is one example that is almost exactly right. A faint possibility is a weird form of SHIGE. Pete Login or register to post comments

I also checked in Meikan and there are neither Bungo Yoshiyuki 吉幸 nor Yoshitsumi on record. Unless it's an unrecorded smith, I wonder if it's one of those cases when characters were cut in a wrong way. Regards, Stan Login or register to post comments


	#5Submitted by Spektrat on Sun, 2012-01-22 21:15. Yoshiyuki 吉幸 Stan and Pete, Thanks for checking. I totally agree that the YUKI is not what is suspected. I have spent hours on an alternative Kanji and used online help and the rest of it. This gives me more fuel to continue searching. I wont give up! /Martin - NIHONTO EUROPE Login or register to post comments
