Hello to all sword enthusiasts, I am having trouble reading the characters of my mei especially the second character not that I am particularly good at reading any :), would appreciate any help. cheers Keven |

Hi everybody. Could anyone help me with the identification of that mei on my wakizashi blade ? I believe the two first characters are dealing with a date (but which one ?), and I guess the three other ones are the swordsmith's name. |

TV Japan (cable channel here in the U.S., with content from NHK) had an interesting program last night about polishing. It featured a togishi (polisher) named Sasaki, and 2 current students and one former student. The 3 students are each polishing a blade to enter into a competition. Pete |

Dear Sirs, I'm from a fencer's family, we always like sword and now, I practice martial arts and have a budo shop in Paris. My request is about a old wakisashi Meï (signature). This wakisashi is about 52,8cm lenght, in a Satsuma's Koshirae. The nakago looks like old sword with red rust. The sword was in bad state but i'm making a cleaning with shirasaya koshirae. Just waiting the result to be able to see the original work. The Mei seems made with 3 kanji (maybe 4) the 2 last are 'Hisakuni' 久國. |
