Seki

I noticed one of the lists is Gyobutsu Tohaku Meito Oshigata.(Swords of the royal family). Sato Kanichi & Numata Kenji.. 

 

 

I am not familiar with this book. Does being in this book mean you worked for a family?

If I understand the book correctly and if I haven't made a mistake with my listing in the index, a sword by this smith was in the Imperial collection when the book was made.

If I am to understand this, Any sword in this book would have a drawing and a copy of the mei. Is that correct?

Tensho 3 Nen 8 gatsu August, 1575

 

Noshu Seki ju Kanewaku saku  (濃州関住兼涌)

 

according to sesko book, the three that signed this way are: 

 

Kanewaku (兼涌), Bunmei (文明, 1469-1487), Mino – „Kanewaku“ (兼涌), he lived in Seki, his name is also read as „Kanewaki“

 

Kanewaku (兼涌), Tenbun (天文, 1532-1555), Mino – „Kanewaku“ (兼涌), he lived in Seki, his name is also read as „Kanewaki“, Kenbōmidare,
hitatsura, chū-saku
 
Kanewaku (兼涌), Keichō (慶長, 1596-1615), Mino – „Nōshū Seki-jū Kanewaku“ (濃州関住兼涌), his name is also read as „Kanewaki“
 
So the one the is closest to the mei is the last one but he didn't start until 1596? So is this an early piece for him?
 
or a later piece for the second kanewaku listed?

I think it's this one without checking Fujishiro's.
