QuangD Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Hi All, I need help to translate the second kanji in the tang. "Ichi ???? Tsutsui Kiyokane saku". It is a gendaito make in August of 1942. Quote

cabowen Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 You are welcome... By way, the tanto on the top of your web site was made by Miyaguchi Toshihiro, not Yasunori. It is quite rare as it was made just after sword making was allowed again in Japan after the war. Quote

cabowen Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Miyaguchi Toshihiro (Yasuhiro) was not related to either Kajiyama Yasunori (toku) or Kotani Yasunori. Kotani san was the nephew of Kakiyama Yasunori.... Quote

I got the impression they are the same smith. Miyaguchi Toshihiro name was used as outside work from Yasukuni shrine. One more question for you. Is Endo Mitsuoki and Shibata Ka same smith? I went through the search forum and someone mention it is the same smith. It is new to me. Thanks, Quang Quote
cabowen Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Miyaguchi Yasuhiro used the mei Toshihiro before and after he worked at the Yasukuni Jinja. Kajiyama Yasunori is a different smith. Endo Mitsuoki and Shibata Ka are different people. Quote

Yasunori is nephew of Yasutoku. Somehow last night, I kept thinking Yasutoku was Yasuhiro until I got my morning coffee. lol. Thank you for your help in the translation of Kanenobu and horimono and Kiyokane. Best regards, Quang Quote
