Kasane is always mesured at the mune; when the kasane is thin with a substantial difference between the kasane and the distance between the 2 shinogi, the shinogi is said to be high.
-
It gets even more complicated when it comes to daimei, and there are more of them than you might think.
-
I'd also like to point out another feature of Tadahiro's nidai mei: the size of the kanji decreases as you go down from Hizen towards the hiro kanji (requires a trained eye).

Kikumon is not the right one . https://world-seiyudo.com/product/ka-050121/

Gimei, the space between the kanji is not correct
-
No, the style of the Gassan family's mei is very particular and has nothing to do with the one discussed here; the same goes for the horimono. I must apologise as i'm wrong with the Sanmei's Tanto it's one of Sadaichi, not Sadakazu... ps Sadakazu was an adopted son of Gassan Sadayoshi....

"Les sabres Shinto" written by Serge Degore. All oshigata in this book are from NBTHK.

Tachibana Yasuhiro worked in the Ichimonji style, the hamon seen on this sword does not correspond to this style. example: https://www.token-net.com/juyotoken/tachibana_yasuhiro.html
-
Are you sure you can read a hamon correctly? I'd like to know what makes you think of Yasuhiro The upper part of the hamon comprises the mono-uchi; the lower part extends from the yakidashi to approximately halfway up the blade.
-
On this photo, the difference is quite visible
-
If the upper part of the hamon is different from the lower part (which I think it is) we are in sue Seki or sue Bizen.
-
Which would you get? Mei or Mumei
Jacques replied to RichardY's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
With a tokubetsu hozon, i doubt it can be a kazu uchimono. In any case, you can't judge the real quality of a sword without having some knowledge of it, and without having it in your hand... -
Wakizashi. From what i can see hamon seems notare based.
-
This is where the study of the mei comes into its own. On the sword disussed here, all is wrong, let's just talk about nakago, we can't talk about the workmanship based on photo. The sugata of the nakago is wrong, Kagemitsu's tachi with an ubu nakago are rare (I know of only 2) and their nakago is long. Mei is inscribed the wrong side, location of the mei should be close to the mune and above the mekugi ana, size of the kanji are wrong (must be smaller)
-
No, there are some very well-made gimei
-
Gimei at 100%.

Why so many new torokusho?
Jacques replied to Moritsuchi's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Every sword in Japan must have a torokusho. If the sword is exported it is de-registered and if it is later re-imported to Japan (for sale or polishing) it must be registered again. -
Maybe or not..

O itame fairly hadatachi

Great News from the NBTHK Japan
Jacques replied to R_P's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Nice, this will save me from having to rummage through the jumble of magazines I have in stock. -
Without having it in hands, i give up.
-
On the short range. For what i can see sori seems more takenoko than uchi, is it right?
-
Nagasa ?
