    Photo is really grainy so can't make out much. Can see ".... Mune saku" 宗作 Not sure why a smith would go out of their way to throw shade at a city in another country

    That seems a bit sub-optimal in terms of shinsa quality?

    From a purely financial standpoint, you will not recoup the cost of restoration/proper polishing on these blades if you choose to resell later, even if signature is authentic But if there's sentimental value then I'd say go for it

    Would the NBTHK likely paper this to Sengo school instead of Kodai Muramasa?

    This is a lesser known smith so I can't be sure There's only one smith listed that signed with this mei in my references (see picture) - Yamato, Tenbun era, Sue-Tegai lineage Hope that helps
  14. mywei
    The mei is Nanto ju Fujiwara Nobukiyo I think Muromachi, Kanabo school See ref signature on this naginata - https://sanmei.com/c...ia/T221936_Y1406.htm

    Could be 切物　義之　i.e carving done by Yoshiyuki Are there any bohi/soebi etc on the blade?

    Loom motif?

    mywei replied to mywei's topic in Tosogu

    I guess the only way we'll have an official answer is if someone submits it to for shinsa!...

    Loom motif?

    mywei replied to mywei's topic in Tosogu

    Yeah I had my doubts that it was actually depicting a loom, but not really sure what it is actually meant to be!

    Loom motif?

    mywei posted a topic in Tosogu

    Hey guys, Just wanted to confirm the motif of these menuki and kogai https://www.aoijapan...t-of-tosogu-mumei-2/ Is it a loom/weaving machine as described? And if so, what is the significance of this motif (if any)? And have any of you guys seen similar motif on other pieces? Just seems to be a curious object to put on tosogu
