Polish looks fantastic. I'm glad you restored it, even if some curmudgeons gave you an earful.

First batch: $40 dollars each + shipping -7" by 2.5" -foam insert will prevent swords from sagging and hitting surfaces (or other swords on same pillow) -simple design doesn't distract from the steel -slightly thicker than most makura to make picking up and setting down swords easier -fabric won't deform or bunch up -hand sewn by me Colors available: 1-Green 3-Navy 1-Black

Hi everyone I was hoping to get info on what this sayagaki says- I think it may be Kanzan’s work. Particularly interested in finding out if it names a generation. thank you

Whose theory? Do we have a source for that? Makes total sense, just checking.

As with any auction site, that one had a VERY fishy "gassan" in red koshirae that sold for a good chunk. I think the red koshirae seduced people into believing they didn't have to research that particular Gassan's mei, but if they had done so they would have realized the mei on the nakago was nothing like other examples of that Gassan's work... Be careful everyone

Good catch, Chishiki. I would hope admin would follow up and be interested who is attempting this rather than just tell you to read posts made FOUR years ago... -

It seems there used to be a group in the city. Is anyone planning on starting some meetings or (gasp!) a show even? I'm jealous of the San Francisco people---

More! We're living vicariously through this

Thank you for walking me through all of that. I was jumping the gun a bit on the last character. Best - Jake

Thank you so much for the detailed response and links! Much appreciated. Just by working with the kanji in different translation services and asking a few friends. 次兵 - tsugi-hei could literally mean "second soldier" couldn't it?

Current hypothesis: 九州肥後同田貫 (Dotanuki signature) 次兵衛丞 (dedication/ who it's for: "second guard in the *insert translated rank here*'s guards" 丞 = prime minister in Chinese, apparently, and or maybe deputy, whatever that might mean.
-
Thank you Piers. I'm suspecting that this was an order or a gift for a "deputy's" guards. It's a very large omi-yari from muromachi period.
-
So it's a rank?
-
Hi again and thanks for that. Here's the mei and what NBTHK had to say-

Hi Steve, thanks for the quick response. Here's the full mei: 九州肥後同田貫次兵衛丞 I have the first 7 characters to be a Dōtanuki
