Hi guys, I know that Yokoyama Sukenaga sign his work with the chrysanthemum flower. But I can’t figure out the mei. So what do you guys read out of it? Is it a Yokoyama Sukenaga sword?

Thx, I’m just afraid to get carried away with its beauty and pay to much or just think it’s worth more because it looks so nice.

Hi guys, I’m up for my very first buy in terms of Japanese sword art. i have found a fantastic tsuba I just need to have. I just love it. But I need your help translating the mei and what you would recommend me to offer for it. I can’t understand that I haven’t been collecting this beautiful pieces of art before. Please help me.

Thank you guys so much. So to simplify it, the rule of thumb is the 30 respectable 60cm. I like the idea about the umbrella term. With makes everything relatively between two blades. Also it was interesting that you can check the mei and the roundish or flat nakago-mune for clues to what kind of blade it is. very nice and interesting article @Edwolf.

I have just enter the wonderful world of Japanese swords and culture. But I’m stuck on one question that I don’t seam to find an clear answer on. How is the Wakizashi defined? and please don’t say a Japanese sword they is shorter than the Katana. The blade should be “approximately” 30-60cm. Does that mean that a Katana must be 60+ cm and a Tanto 30- cm? Is there a more specific definition? sorry for my lack in knowledge
