hmultimedia Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Hi Guys, This one has me stumped, I have listed what I've got so far and can recognize Dai-jo but there seems to be Dai-something above that? dai-jingu - 大神 ? Leave the smith name if the last kanji is indeed hiro Cheers Matt.... and as always Quote

Veli Posted July 5, 2014 Report Posted July 5, 2014 Yamato Daijo is a title, something like "assistant lord of Yamato province". For a swordsmith, this kind of title carried prestige and honor (and was expensive to acquire), but probably did not bring any real administrative power. http://www.jssus.org/nkp/common_kanji.html Veli Quote
mywei Posted July 6, 2014 Report Posted July 6, 2014 I think this smith was a grandson of Hizen Hirosada (step-brother of 1st gen Tadayoshi) Quote
