    It's a mochi pounding mortar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmSrULDVRPc
  3. Kojima Norimichi, Seki stamp. Gendaito Seki swordsmith
  4. Of course i might be wrong, but from what i see the blade isn't tamahagane for sure and most likely not even steel. The hamon is drawn and the nakago is been badly adapted (most likely to fit the tsuka). Usually this kind of blades are called "mogito" in Japan, and can be wall hangers for tourists or iaito for practice. Tosogu are all modern cast and the koshirae is "wall hanger quality". At least is probably made in Japan, since usually China ones are steel
  5. This is a mogito, a practice sword with blade in aluminium alloy and modern cast fittings
  6. The signature is different too, a compare of original Fukunaga's hakogaki on left and the certificate on right, please note the last kanji
  7. I'm sorry if i sound presumptuous, that wasn't my intention. Just i studied Muramasa and his works for a while and what i see on this blade doesn't look anything like his workmanship. He made hitatsura, but never this picturesque and regular. Hada doesn't fit either. What i said about the papers wasn't against you, since you said yourself that this is suspicious, is just a general raccomandation. I always doubt of papers on mumei blades, even NTHK or NBTHK, after all is just an educated guess And about the certificate doesn't seem Fukunaga's http://www.shibuiswords.com/papers1.htm
  8. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g439924880 The blade looks nothing like Muramasa, better study the sword first and then the papers
  9. it seems 石井和天 Ishii Kazuten(?). It is a really suspicious nakago, can you show the blade?
  10. The Kaga blade is probably a "Kaga no Kami Fujiwara Morimichi"
  11. A day in august of first year of Daiei era (1521)
  12. Bishu Osafune Sukesada
  13. After some research seems it could be genuine, here's some pic
  14. Thank you very much Steve!
  15. I'm having an hard time to read the mei of this kogatana, can anyone help?
  16. 長濱消防組 Nagahama fire department
  17. Looks like a tsuta (ivy) mon, this family used it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsunaga_clan
  18. here's an example https://www.aoijapan.net/katanagunto-noshu-seki-ju-kanetaka-kitae-kore/ And.... fuarce Udin
  19. on the right is Kamakura, on the left looks like 八 , 三分 which should be a measure (2.5 cm) but doesn't make much sense for a tsuba Unless he meant 8.3 cm but used 分 instead of "Cm"
  20. Great piece, I think early Muromachi as well
  21. Ko katchushi tsuba, early Muromachi
  22. I think it's Morimichi
  23. “Musashi no Kami Fujiwara (Morimichi?)” 武蔵守藤原(盛道?) can you take a clearer picture of last 2 kanji? Looks like an Edo period blade btw
  24. I well remember your passion for nihonto and especially for sake In the same spirit i add my calligraphy from Yamoka Tesshu which can be readed as "Studying having fun is a god-like thing"
