Hello folks It would be nice, if anyone can help me with this translation. wooden boxed WWII original Yasukunishrine hanging scroll padded in the box with an old newspaper from 1938 ? Thank you in advance!

for comparsion NBTHK papered Kajiyama Yasutoshi I would be very happy, to see more genuine signatures by Kajiyama Yasutoshi here

Again, thank you very much Moriyama san!!

Good Morning and Happy new Year to everyone here! Can someone translate the further meaning of this Nagamichi signature for meß Many thank's in advance!

what should not overlocked, of courses is that both sounds already possess a correspondingly good quality to received the corresponding ratings. a plus for the awarding of Koshu Tokubestu Kicho at that time

Not all dealer's are the same that's far too general a statement for me , like all old paper's In this case, I've had exceptionally good experience with Pablo

this clearly demonstrates, that regarding the so called "old blue papers" one cannot simply judge to the Motto: "Old Paper's no Paper's" and that Mr Han Bing Siong was not entirely wrong with his research in generall. Blue Paper Kosu tokubetsu Kicho here dated 25 january 1980 new Toku Betsu Hozon for the same Daisho blades dated 24.May 2021 if I understand the data correctly

I find Han Bing Siong's research more credible, its always based on extremely careful fact's. Anyone who knew him, know's whatI#m talking about.

well said Ian. the old blue papera are not inherently questionable, not at all. after all they are clearly distinct from the grren papers and are rather rare. Mr Han Bing siong muust have researched this very thoroghly before making such a statement. Please take a look at "Unique Japan" and their description of the old blue papers.

I remember that Chris Bowen wrote something worthwile about Minamoto Yoshichika and also blades that were traditionally made for Nakayama Hakudo

John is right to put it cautiously,"some" information in this book "Samurai swords for the Material Battle" is incorrect, according to serious reseach. All in all in my opinion it's light reading.
