    Thank you. I have put some images in my gallery - binnawan

Emura (EMU1)

  • Many thanks for , kazarena , 17 years 2 weeks ago

    Many thanks for correction!

    The record has been updated.

  • Emura , alchemyst , 17 years 2 weeks ago

    Record is correct. However this is NOT the same smith
    as Nag 296. Emura was head of the Okayama Prison.
    He also signed Chounsai Emura and Bishu Chounsai Emura
    and sometimes just "E". There are also two different forms
    of the "mura" Kanji used by him.

    See my webpages on Emura, Nagamitsu and why the
    confusion arose.

Nagamitsu (NAG296)

  • Richard, thank you for , kazarena , 17 years 2 weeks ago

    Richard, thank you for correction. The record has been updated.

  • Nagamitsu , alchemyst , 17 years 2 weeks ago

    The record is correct. However, Nagamitsu was NOT
    the head of Okayama prison. That was Emura. The two
    smiths are not related. This is an error found in many of
    the older listings.

    See my webpages on Emura, Nagamitsu and why the
    confusionn arose.

    Richard,

    It could be Munenaga MUN260.

    I'm away from home at the moment. I'll double-check it next week.

    I also have a listing in Hawley for a Munenaga from the
    early Kamakura Period. He was a Bizen smith. Just FYI.
