takakage

i agree with Johnny too. i don't find the hada enough tigth for a ko bizen (often ko itame and sometimes nagare) and kissaki seems chu , so i'm looking for an osafune smith with sugu and saka ashi

yes, koyama school or a pupil, due to nakago jiri and kiri yasuri mei (often kesho on his swords) seems munetsugu it is strange that this fine sword is mumei..............

Hello everybody, thanks for the link Brian. i put some bids for a blade, wait and see.i hope that all will be ok. if he wants to deal with news customers, he should be fairplay........... have a nice day

Hello, http://www.l-wise.co.jp/sword/auction/ is a member know this "shop" and deals with ? thanks

in spite black hada often seen on naotsuna, may be a yamato shizu could match due to nie deki , short kaeri hakikakke in boshi and hada seems masame near ha ?

due to the lot of masame in the itame and the notare may be a work of kanenaga, it's just my opinion

due to the mix itame and masame, nioi and nie, hakkikake boshi without kaeri for me it is a yamato tegai blade.

due to the horimono on the cartouche, saki sori and mitsu mune, i think that is a worK of FUSAMUNE

thanks alot Nakamura San

not by mail and not by inquiry.......

hello, impossible to sent him a mail ?

Hi, caution about aoi art, i'm very very disapointed by my last purchase at this shop, many black pin holes on the blade, chips on kissaki not writen on the appraisal. i asked tsuruta by mail before shipping if this blade has got chips, nicks or open grain.........the answer :fantastic sword!!! sword return with troubles, 2 months customs retention at narita airport, saya unglued, mekugi lost , sword sticked in the saya. a very bad deal i'm waiting the pay back of my money............. i don't know if next time , i will buy at this shop

Hello, is someone already deals with this seller http://www.l-wise.co.jp/sword/auction/ thanks

Hello everybody, i need oshigatas of BUSHU SHITAHARA NAIKI YASUSHIGE there are many mei(shinto and shin shinto) with naiki and i have few, only one..... Thanks a lot

hello, don't be worried, he is ok, his computer (and provider too) has got some trouble regards

Hi, this blade seems little machi okuri and little suriage that could be explain why the nakago jri is different to the takada shinto school

i agree, a chinese fake........, nakago, ana, yasuri mei and kanji are very ugly

in spite the dark jigane but it is an old polish, may be a work of daido ?

writen nagasone okimasa but with many differences to the genuine mei

shinto bungo masayasu uses higaki yasuri mei

higaki yasuri mei are often seen on mino to swords (koto, shinto and shinshinto of course)

Hello, i have seen a long shin shinto sword with the mei nanki kanemitsu, i don't find this mei on shin shinto taikan and hawley's. do you think possible that this smith is a member of nankaitaro school thanks for your answer

hello, shinto bungo takada mei, swordsmiths of shinto bungo often use fuji wara to their names and yuki also. the nakago jri match to this school too.

there is a belgium polisher at Bruges (Van Dame Zénon) but i don't know if he polish jumonji yari, contact him. however he works very well

Hello, usually this smith use seki stamp. seki noju hoshi ya yoshi naga is the mei. the hamon seems thick in nioi as often seen on oil quenched blade ( but yours has got ko nie ?). in spite polish laid off, hada coud be ko itame with ji nie. not obvious to see something with this old polish. regards
