Yamato Daijo Masanori (nidai.

[Chinook]

Hello, I am not having much luck on finding any info on the early Shinto swordsmith Yamato Daijo Fujiwara Masanori (nidai) . There is a lot out there on the shodai but I would like to compare would like to see a oshigata of the nidai masanori and learn more about him. Any help would be great. Thank You, Mark P.

Thanks guys for your help. I bought a book at the NCJSC sword show last August titled " Shinto Bengi Oshigata " by W. M. Hawley but it does not have a oshigata of the this smith and I could not find one online so your postings are a great help. Thanks and good luck, Mark P.
