David McDonald Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Dear Matt I found one reference for Washu ju Nagahiro in Nihonto Meikan with a period of eisho (1504) and he worked in Iwami province. Not sure if it is your smith but a start. later david mcdonald jswords@mcn.net Quote
1tallsword Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 there are several generations and different smiths by this name, I have had no luck finding one that signed this exact way, the closest is what you said in the eisho period. thanks,Jeremy scott. Quote
hmultimedia Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Posted June 14, 2014 Hi guys, Thanks for looking into this smith, I too couldn't find any reference to the smith as shown above either. I don't actually own this piece, I like to pretend I'm loaded and scour the online auctions translating as I go. I found this one to be a challenge! Cheers Matt Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 That's a fantastic way to pickup the ability to read mei and nengo. Cheers. Quote
