Expand Sorry to revive such an old thread but has anybody found out any more info about Kanenobu(father)? For being apart of the revitalization of sword making he seems to be omitted in popular literature. Quote
Kiipu Posted April 12, 2022 Report Posted April 12, 2022 @mecox has some information about him in his monograph called Japanese Swordsmiths in Gifu 1937. Japanese Swordsmiths in Gifu 1937 1 Quote
MarcoUdin Posted April 12, 2022 Report Posted April 12, 2022 Thank you Kiipu. I have read the that document, and appreciate Mecox work, I'm sure it's very time consuming. I was just interested in his actual involvement in the school, and why he seems ignored in comparison to somebody like Kanenaga. Quote
