Time for you to learn, Pepe:

 

Smith name= 2 kanji, title: 1kanji

 

To begin with title, try: http://www.japaneseswordindex.com/kanji/kanji1.htm = M......

 

For smith name, try: http://www.jssus.org/nkp/kanji_for_mei.html : Y......+ .........

 

 

It should give you something like: M....... Y.....................

 

I expect you to find at least 2 kanji :D

hello jean, thank for your help, i think the M is from MINAMOTO, trying to find Y.....+......now, is the text on the nakago from the kogatana also real?,

the kogatana comes from the sword with the dragonfly koshirae in topic tosogu i asked about maintenance koshirae

pepe, ps i think Y is from Yoshi???????

Two kanji name looks 義豊 (Yoshitoyo) to me.

Thanks Brian, I think it is Yoshitoyo (義豊). However, I could not find the name in my book.

hello guys , thank already for helping, i looked google for yoshitoyo and found there was a yoshitoyo in the osaka-school , a painter and poet, lived from 1830 till only 1866, i not know this has something in relation to this , but on the kogatanas handle there is o poem very much the same writing style then his paintings, i send a picture from a painting and my kogatana for resamblance,

NMB is an awsome site, greetings pepe
