Short story... this is Yuriko Seshima from GINZA MARUHIDE. She is six years in business. This very day she visited Seikodo and did a sword appraisal. Sword tangs are hidden, she has to observe shape, texture and pattern. It`s allowed recieving written past kwowledge and experience. The sword researcher TAKESHI TAKAYAMA is talking about is a TOKUBETSU JUYO with kinzogan mei, swordsmith Oohara Sanemori. The tanto shown TENSHU-UCHI mei KUNIHIRO. He was famous for carving DAIKOKUTEN ( god of the great darkness ). It`s a JUYO sword from the house of OSHIMAZU ). I missed to share the subtitles. BEST
