Thank you for your information. I started collecting in 1982 but sold most of my collection around 2000 when my wife and I bought a boat and lived on it for 3 years. I later stated collecting samurai armor and recently began renewing my interest in swords. I am very rusting on reading kanji and really appreciate all the information on this website.

Moriyama san, I again thank you for taking the time to respond to my request. I started collecting in 1982 and have owned a number of blades during this time and have never seen this type of inscription on a blade (who forged and who quenched). Sensei, my question to you, is this unusual and could it be because Watanabe Kanenaga was involved in it. Dennis

Thank you for your quick response. Dennis

I also purchased this blade and request help with the translation. Thank you in advance. Dennis

Thank you for your quick response. Dennis

Thank you for allowing to be part of this group. I am requesting help translating tang of a showa blade. Thank you, any help would be appreciated.
