hey guys,

 

to those interested in Hizen blades, it seems I've come across a nice deal (imho) of a papered (hozon) shodai Hizen Masahiro katana whilst window shopping :)

 

unfortunately I'm not in the market right now, but I know there are plenty of Hizen fans here :)

 

never done any business with this website before but looks legit

I noticed the same.

 

Also, Is it Shodai? I have a Shodai, but this looks 4th gen to me.

 

Edit: Yasurime obscured and where I can see the angle; it does not appear to be the right one.

 

I might be wrong but I will check it further.

 

Too sharp turns in the midare when I compare my blade and from books. Shodai is softer and balanced.

NBTHK recently had an article on Tadakuni and had examples of his mei as it changed giving dates with examples. I noticed it as I was interested in Tadakuni, they probably have more info on other Hizen smiths.

Masahiro was part of the Yoshinobu line of Hizen smiths right? not Tadakuni?

 

 

I mistakenly mentioned Tadakuni...This is of course a Masahiro blade. Sorry for the confusion....
