Ron STL Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 This is the kogatana that is mounted with the gendai kozuka by Yoshitoshi topic posted under tosogu. This kogatana is beautifully made complete with interesting hamon. The maker could be named ----yama? Fujiwara Kanetane, but I'm not totally convinced of that. I'd love to get a complete translation of the mei. Photo attached. Thanks Ron STL Quote
Nobody Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 My guess is 金花(華)山藤原兼貞 - Kinkazan Fujiwara Kanesada. Quote
Ron STL Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Thank you Moriyama san, I can now see how that would be this difficult mei. I'll search the kogatana smiths to see if his name is recorded. It is an interesting kogatana that is very well forged. Ron STL Quote
