    Nakago has a Mino feel to it, and Kane kaji is common in Yamato-descending Mino lineages, which is a lot... So Mino smiths, late mid to late Muromachi is a possibility. Its easier to be sure seeing the blade. Is I a person of knowledge is arguably a more difficult and esoteric question.

    It would be nice to see closeup of hamon… otherwise so far looks ok

    Hiring a competent curator makes department head look dumb with little to no practical benefits.

    With such low resolution I can't really see much.

    You are doing it wrong, Jacques. You are supposed to say "I am but an eternal student of the sword, humble in knowledge". You friend is then supposed to chime in with "Jacques is a Scholarly Scholar! Celestial star, who shines over the True Path", etc. etc..

    Little is seen regarding the blade but this particular narrow wide periodic gunome with visible yet uneven "nioiguchi" can be XXth century lower grade work. Japanese. Strange that it still needed very drastic nakago work, and there are other things which are a tad off. So yes, original Japanese parts, but how did they come together is something I am puzzled to say.

    Its traditionally made and probably late Muromachi or early Shinto. The school... I don't know, the elements look like Bizen, but the arrangement is Mino. Probably late Muromachi Mino Kanetomo or maybe someone (other) from Senjuin lineage. Some of them did do Bizen-like chouji.

    They are all from one collector. I've picked up couple of blades, and he rolled out quite a few okimono and netsuke...
