    Rai Kuniyuki

    Jacques replied to Brano's topic in Nihonto

    I'm a physicist, so I'm rigorous (maybe a little too). Rai Kuniyuki doesn't exist, but Kuniyuki of the Rai school does.

    It's always interesting to know the motivation behind a choice.

    Dog is fine kantei answer : ECHIGO NO KAMI KANESADA. For those who are right, can you say which generation and why ?

    Since it's Christmas and there are some who have difficulty reading a hamon I'll help you : Hamon is a Toran midare mixed with elements yahasu.

    A Rai Kunitoshi in Japan without NBTHK Papers = big red flag.
  9. Jacques
    Wakizashi Nagasa = 54,5 cm Sori = 1,3 cm iori mune Jigane = very dense ko-itame with many ji nie and chikei. Hamon = as shown on oshigata. Nioiguchi is bright, wide and clear with much ko-nie. Isolated little tama on both side. Boshi as shown on oshigata. Answer next sunday

    Could be genuine https://sanmei.com/c...h-year-of-Eisho.html
  11. Jacques
    In my opinion, these topics are pointless because nobody here, least of all me, is qualified to judge what the NBTHK experts think of the quality of this or that sword.

    Giordy has part of the answer: the second lies in the way the mi kanji is engraved: for the shodai, the two horizontal strokes are engraved in parallel, whereas for the nidai they are engraved with a slight opening
  13. Jacques
    the first (Omi no kami Tadatsuna) and the last i posted (with the classicla tsuna)
  14. Jacques
    Still no one ? unless three people try, I'll keep the answer to myself.
  15. Jacques
    My bad, i choosed a wrong example which is a later work just before changing his mei to Ikkanshi The correct one
  16. Jacques
    This is the shodai but that's not where the difference lies I put a mei of the nidai so that you can try to find it.
  17. Jacques
    Do you know why you want to buy this sword?
  18. Jacques
    Yes.
  19. Jacques
    No one to try a guess ?

    I must add that it's the proximity of the end of the shinogi and the point of the kissaki that makes me think of a simple shobu-zukuri. A photo of a naginata naoshi has been posted, and it's clear that the shinogi ends far from the point of the kissaki, to avoid breaking the line of the boshi

    No, the position must be seen from the smith's point of view, so there's nothing to stop him from grabbing the blade and attacking.
  22. Jacques
    No, the position does not respect etiquette: the tsuka should be pointing to the left of the smith to show a sign of peace (it is grasped with the right hand).
  23. Jacques
    The wakizashi is displayed the wrong way..
  24. Jacques
    Yep. Open Nagayama's connoisseur page 53 ... https://ginza.choshu.../001/16_morokage.php
