Sugawara Kanenori

[Clive Sinclaire]

Gentlemen

We have just put a sword by the Teishitsu Gigein swordsmith Sugawara Kanenori onto the UK Sword Register No. 127 at http://www.To-ken.com. I believe we may have discussed this before but this now includes a rather poor oshigaata and, as always, I would value your comments.

Regards

Greetings.

I only wonder if it is tachi or is it Kodachi, because of the nagasa length.

It is listed as tachi. Sorry for my weird newbi question.

I have catagorised it as a tachi blade because the nagasa exceeds 60 cm, the slim sugata siggests a tachi and it is signed tachi-mei. I believe would have been difficult to catagorise it in any other way. Don't be afraid of asking "wierd newbie questions"

Nice one Wah, I see that it was made one year before mine when he was a young man only 81 years old.

Thanks for your reply mr. Clive Sinclaire, now I understand why tachi. ( nagasa exceeds 60 cm, the slim sugata siggests a tachi and it is signed tachi-mei ).

Thanks for the lesson and sharing yours knowledge.

 

Best regards,
