    Many of these would appear to be magnetic!

    It's just a copy of the registration certificate back in Japan, recording some basic physical features for their legal records.

    Oh, and today I found this one. Iron, ribbed. Acorns? The togishi asked if he could polish it, so I said ‘sure’! Came up nicely.

    細違い角家紋 Try linking it like this with 'kamon'.
  5. Bugyotsuji
    Nice design. Possibly 細違い角 hoso chigai kaku.

    Cotton as 綿 ‘men’ was used for string, cloth weaving, etc. In the scene above however, they seem to be concentrating on bulk wata ワタ, which is the earlier process before spinning for thread/string.

    10. (All for now.) iron with iron fukurin. Kaneie Mei, but it is said he did not add fukurin.

    9. Tōsho tsuba, iron sukashi w/Amida yasuri.

    8. Sendai, iron, signed Kiyochika. Kabuto riveting style. Katchūshi?

    6,7. Two Owari (?), the right one NBTHK papered to ‘Owari’.
  11. Bugyotsuji
    4,5. Two Saotome chrysanthemum wheels, iron, the larger one 9.3 x 9.3 cm.

    3. Resonating with Richard’s above?
  13. Bugyotsuji
    2. Thin iron plate with shinchū fukurin. Nobuie style but unsigned.
  14. Bugyotsuji
    Will add 10 tsuba... 1. Small iron tsuba with shihō inomé and shinchū fukurin. From handachi?
  15. Bugyotsuji
    Add one more, Tim!

    Wari-kōgai, iron. Said to be old, Muromachi (?) but I do not know enough about these. The slanting ‘shoulders’ below the ‘mimi-kaki’ may be one indication.
  17. Bugyotsuji
    Not to be confused with Kanemitsu 金光.
  18. Bugyotsuji
    Hmmm.... Nice! They look as though they are a village community making cotton wool 'wata' for stuffing bedding and winter clothing, etc..

    Samurai Homer in the bath by Darth19 on DeviantArt

    Looks like a Westerner's idea of a Kanji.

    The history of Aizu is interesting, as is the history of these 'ken' that Brian mentions. Genuine examples are comparatively rare, so they tend to be somewhat sought after; for this reason modern smiths will occasionally try their hand at one.

    Aizu Masahiro Saku Using the old kanji for Ai 会津正弘　作 Since the nakago (tang) looks clean, it could be a modern work, but using the old kanji form for Aizu, i.e. 會津

    Ah, thanks for the correction. 鳥城 = Tottori, Bird Castle 烏城 = Okayama, Crow Castle Both Ikeda family domains! (I was thinking of 今泉俊光 Imaizumi Toshimitsu)
  24. Bugyotsuji
    烏城, not 鳥城 I think.
  25. Bugyotsuji
    烏城　 Ujō possible? (Okayama Castle)
