  1. Maybe post pictures of the signature, name sounds strange.
  2. Oh 52cm Nagasa.... so i would guess late Muromachi, or very early Edo time.
  3. For me it looks like a Shinshinto Katana with O-Kissaki, looks nice!
  4. Hi, yes looks like early Shinto, maybe Kanei because of the longer Kissaki. Hamon is hard to see on the photos, Hada looks nice. Mino... a lot of smith from Mino moved to different part of the country and established new schools. So hard to say which one. Maybe somebody else with more experience can help. Otherwise i can recommend you some books. bye Oli
  5. Where is the sword located? Never heard of Location:Northern Va ?
  6. thank you Jussi, it was a lot of fun. I can also mention the Shinto/Shinshinto Kantei book from Markus Sesko was very helpful.
  7. you schould also make some photos of the boshi, mabe this helps. Where are some nice books in english for shinshinto: shinshinto-shi and shinto/shinshinto kantei both from Markus Sesko.

    Bird's Head Tachi

    isn't this a showato? https://www.samurais....jp/sword/22158.html Regards Oli
  9. I would recommend to visit the Japan Artexpo in Utrecht
  10. yes maybe also because of koshizori....`
  11. i am not a expert, but i guess Osaka Shinshinto ( of course not the Gassan Group). There was a smith: MASAYOSHI (正義), Kaei (嘉永, 1848-1854), Settsu – “Ōsaka-jū Kuroda Masayoshi” (大坂住黒田正義), “Masayoshi” (正義), real name Kuroda Sukeichirō (黒田助一郎), student of Ozaki Masataka (正隆), he also worked in Harima Question is, is this Osaka yakidashi?
  12. For me it looks more like mino-den. Does it have a yakidashi?
  13. There are a lot of smiths with the name Masayoshi in Sesko Book about Japanese sword-smiths. I think it also can be gendai because of the short signature, but then it should be a little bit longer. Nice sword, thanks for the photos.
  14. Not shure, but is this website not from a Japanese person? http://ohmura-study.net/900.html

    Questions about Tanto

    technically they could be possible shortened Hira-zukuri Wakizashi or Sunnobi Tanto. Example: https://www.toukenko...&katana_A071023.html if the suriage makes i smaller than 30cm.

    Questions about Tanto

    i would say not very common. Shortened to Wakizashi sure, but to Tanto i don't think so.
  18. or maybe a Kyushu smith: Bungo Yukihira ....
  19. Aoe or maybe Ko-Aoe, i am not shure because of the yakiotoshi. My guess as noob thanks for the kantei Oli
  20. i think this is a typo in the book from Markus Sesko, Japanese Swordsmiths Maybe another Organisation?
  21. Maybe the Expo in Utrecht next year: https://www.japanartfair.com But i dident saw this year so expensive Swords there. Last expo https://www.japanartexpo.com
  22. hi, have a look on the books from Markus Sesko. Shinto-shi is good: https://www.lulu.com...ko&page=1&pageSize=4 Oli
