Thekirsh Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 Hi All Just a follow up from my last thread, I was wondering if anyone has any information or oshigata on a mei "Izumi no kami Kanehisa" Thanks again Simon Quote
Grey Doffin Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 This Kanehisa made it into none of the 60 or so references I've added to my index. It probably will be tough finding anything on the smith. Grey Quote
Ludolf Richter Posted September 24, 2007 Report Posted September 24, 2007 Although he is not to be found in the index books (Kawaguchi/1928,Sato/Nihonto Meikan,Fujishiro,Iida,Tokuno and "Keicho Irai Shinto Bengi"/1851/reprint),he may yet exist!Robert Cole does have one on his homepage (see below): IZUMI-no-KAMI ... KANEHISA TEN-SHO 1573 MINO KOTO Where did he get that information from?!Mino swordsmith normally have the standard Kanji for "Kane" and not this one:there is one from Tensho-era in the index-plus Cox's Mino-book,but without a title!Ludolf http://www.sho-shin.com/titles.htm Quote
