Hello Everybody, I have been studying the Japanese sword for over 40 years also dealing them. I sold this Kaneyoshi 330374391661, I have descrived which I seen on the sword and there is no descived my opinion. "The signature is signed" means descrived only and not saying "signed by". Any way, It is very common there are many fake signature on the old swords specialy copied high grade sword smith. But I have never seen fake signature of low grade of showato, no reason to to fake it and this Kaneyoshi is not fake signature. I have seen many fake name high grade gendaito smith name swords, Takahashi Naganobu, Miyairi Akihira, Shibata Ka, Gassan Sadagazu　etc selling on ebay. They are all fake signature on shinsakuto which was made recently. Regards, Yuzo

Plase return the sword or close thedispute. Regards, Yuzo

Hello John, I think this sign is done by himself in young days or by younger brother. I`m sure this kind of writing is not done by meikirishi or kazuuchimei since the mei form is very artistic writing. Regards, Yuzo

Hello, I have been tring to send a mail to this forum but didn`t work out. But I will try again. This Kaneyoshi signature is genuine and taraditional hand forged blade. The signature are not same all the time. I see very poor kanji writing kanji signature on the swords, because they didn`t go to school, are not educated how to write their own name that is very common at that time in Japan. The sword book you have is not perfect book and still we need to study more. Regards, Yuzo
