Roland Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 I'm just looking for some informations about the quite rare kijimomo-gata and/or Tanagobara gata nakago. I found not so much webwise or in my books... I know, that this form of nakago was f.e. in use for tachi during Ko-Bizen. During Kamakura Norimune forged some of his nihonto with this style of nakago too. While the Tanago-bara was f.e. found in the Mihara school. But now I've seen a Wakizashi with a kind of kijimomo-gata or Tanagobara-gata style nakago, kurijiri! Was that usual? When? Where? Who? Do You have any idea? Quote

Roland Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 You are so cute! Well, You caught me... nevertheless I'm curious about this a little bit strange nakago – photo added! Neither Kijimomo-gata nor a true Tanagobara-gata? Quote
Grey Doffin Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 I agree with the last post; this is a nakago that has been ground down. It looks too clumsy to have been done by the smith. Grey Quote
pcfarrar Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 Maybe for fitting in a kyu gunto? Quote
