Typical of someone who doesn't understand what knowledge is.
-
Yeah, but I don't collect things, I think it's a little silly. What interests me is knowledge. Yeah, I know I'm different, but I'm ok with that.
-
The Japanese can do whatever they want; what interests me is art, not militaria (I might as well collect spoons).

Star stamped only and it's not a rule. https://www.jssus.org/nkp/japanese_sword_laws.html

That's your opinion, and IS IT shared by others (How many people do you know who are interested in nihonto?).
-
NTHK NPO = not reliable
-
Wiki .... Wiki is reliable on scientific subjects but about Nihonto it's far for being the case (have a look at references).

Mitsu-mune My mistake i would say iori-mune.

You still have everything to learn. Mitsu mune = not a yoroi-doshi

Gimei. This one is tokuho The great thing about Mizuta Kunishige swords is that the signatures look very similar regardless of the generation; however, it's relatively difficult to tell which generation a sword belongs to

The constant element (it must appear at least once in the mei or the nengo)

Answer tomorrow.. Still waiting for the expert advices as we can see on the Shintogo Kunimitsu tanto's topic.
-
Two have been found, but there are still more. Where are the experts?
-
In the attached photo, you can see two of Kiyomaro's signatures; both have the same nengo, but there are a few differences between them. Can you spot them? On the other hand, there are some characteristics that are always present in Kiyomaro's signatures, can you identify them?

Katana Blade Signed MINAMOTO KIYOMARŌ dated 1850
Jacques replied to tbonesullivan's topic in Nihonto
I was wrong once about this swordsmith, but this time I'm sure, gimei From the Kiyomaro taikan

Nothing will ever replace studying a sword in hands; it is the one and only way to appreciate all its subtleties. Even the swords on display in museums cannot be studied fully and seriously. Everything else is just hot air.
-
At first glance, it looks like the Echizen sandai Yasutsugu, but I can't be sure about the authenticity of the mei, the photo is too blurry.
-
Although Sukehiro's signature style has evolved over time, there are certain constants, especially in the kaisho style. Unfortunately, this blade is gimei.
