Hi,

Probably, many members of NMB possess this book.(?)

Do you know the nickname of the tachi sword on the cover?

It is very famous sword.

Is it the Daihanya Nagamitsu?

The Kagemitsu tachi on the back cover is the 'Koryu' (Nozoki)?

Thank you for all replies.

 

Yes,front cover is Daihannya Nagamitsu,and back side is Koryu Kagemitsu.

Before one week, I did not notice the maker of the sword on the cover.

I noticed the cover, after getting full length Oshigata(printing) of Daihannya Nagamitsu.

Wow. Where do you find these things Morita san? Were they published, and if so..how many did they do at a time?

Lovely item to put on display. Not even sure where someone would start looking for these old oshigata.
