Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to gather information regarding this sword maker. I have googled, which did actually lead me here to give it a go. I see Ota travelled, and studied under a few different sword smiths, does anyone know why he moved from one to the other over his journey? I have one of his swords from wwii, which came home after the war by a family member, who wants to sell it, as she is getting on in life, but in order to do this, I first needed to know it’s value. I have been offered $1200.00 to $2800.00 for it so far. It is not polished, it was carried by an Officer, and once home, it has been in a wardrobe ever since! 76 years to date and counting. I really have loved finding out a little about the maker, and any info would be appreciated.
