    Hi, Have you thought it can be a real nihonto just bought to serve as a bait?

    HI, Horikawa Kunihiro had a kitae made of Itame with some Mokume, and he was ranked O-wazamono (excellent) :D

    Hi, Oshigata i linked above are from Kokan Nagayama itself and i read itame everywhere (Bizen also). End of the debate.

    Hi, Kanzan Sato Sensei and the NBTHK (and many others) say Itame, i'll follow this way :D

    hi, According Nihonto-koza (Koto part II, Mino-den, page 69). Jitetsu (first period) : As for the kitae, those with a hint of masame mixed in Itame are the most common. (second period) : As for the kitae, a hint of Masame mixed in Itame is the most common, and rarely a pure masame is seen.

    Hi, Maybe, seeing the whole nakago and blade should be helpful.

    Hi, We are very far from hizen school features (konuka hada etc...) i don't think there's something interesting to study on this blade except learning kizu and what is a tired blade. Too expensive for this.

    hi, No problem :D outside, inside and detail.

    Hi, Sorry, i've made a mistake about the winner of the shogun competition, it is not the yondai but the sandai (3th) who won. About this competition, i don't have more information. Reshaping a nakago is never a good thing. This blade could be tired, i've noticed some thing on the kiku mon, it upper part has vanished it is also a sign. Look at this one below which is tokubetsu hozon.

    hi, It is the yondai (4th) Rai Kinmichi, he recieved his title on 1692, he won the Shogun competition in 1722. This signature looks genuine :D

    Hi, Think also it's shinshinto. To my eyes, it's not a so great blade, jigane seems uneven and the nioiguchi seems hajimi in some places.
  19. Jacques
    Hi, Are you sure it is the kanenori who moved from Mino during Tensho? I've this one where the style (tagane mannerism) is more resembling. There are nevertheless some differences

    HI Jean, believe it or not you make me woder about an Honami Mitsuyoshi that seems to me to remember adopted a Yasukuni smith named Yoshiaki Sugano Kosuke that seems to me to remember was fashinated by copies that seems to me to remember it's bedtime because I'm tired... :lol: From sword to.......... phono cartridge.

    Hi, Honami papers seem dated from showa 9

    Hi, Already seen 2 or 3 times. It seems nihontô aficionados are not so naive :D .

    Hi, Reinhard, Mumei shinshinto blade are not so scarce. Even, some were awarded hozon by the NBTHK. example:
