    Going to send it in for shinsa as soon as I can. The sword's sayagaki highlights that the sword originally had origami from Hon'ami Nariaki, but those seem to be lost to history. Until I can send for shinsa, I've been using comparisons of the same mei on museum and shrine swords, alongside comparisons of the hamon, hada, and measuremenrs of other swords to make a judgement. As soon as I can, the sword will be sent for a polish and judgement.

    After some time, I was finally able to get my hands on a kodachi (yay!) and I'm excited to show it!

    I see. He appears to be the 12th generation appraiser.

    Sorry if this would be a bother, but my sword must have lost its origami from Nariaki over the years. Could you tell me a little about him? I'm familiar with the earlier Hon'ami, alongside Koson onwards, but his name escapes me. Thank you so much!

    Recently I got my hands on a koto sword in shirasaya with sayagaki from Hon'ami Nishu (recognized the kao marking), but I've only been able to translate bits and pieces of the sayagaki. I would deeply appreciate any assistance on translating the sword's sayagaki, sending what I could not translate myself. Thank you so much to everyone on here! Sincerely, Zoglet

    So recently I found a seller selling an Inro Ojime Meiji period netsuke Teppo with what seems to be A kamon with a Five claws motif with a horizontal line in the middle in gold damascene. Can anyone expound on the meaning of this Mon, as I wasn't able to find any prior information in my research. I appreciate this forum's time and effort. Zoglet
