scratch that...I found a thread on why the white papers no longer hold confidence

I appreciate the education John! May I ask why the "white paper" certificates are no longer considered valid?

showing "sold" on the website...just validating

I appreciate the engagement from Yumso. If anyone else has additional information to add it is always welcomed

thank you, friend So is Bisyu Osafune Sukesada the individual who crafted this blade?

Hello, community! I recently came in possession of an older Japanese item which came with a NBTHK certificate. I've used several different apps that can translate language from pictures however the results are all over the place. I'm hoping that someone on this forum could assist me with the translation. It was communicated that this was from the early Edo period however it could all be rumor. I consider myself pretty self-sufficient when it comes to locating and digesting information on the internet, however I can't seem to find the specifics that I'm looking for throughout the treasure-trove of information out there. Additional question: is the age of the item determined by the artist who created the weapon? Thank you in advance
