Tatara Nagayuki

[Thierry BERNARD]

I have a little sword a ko-wakizashi or possibly boys sword signed

Tatara Nagayuki

 

Nagasa : 34 cm

Sori : 1.2 cm

Kasane : 0.5 cm

 

I think it's a gimei but i'd like to know more about it

 

Does anyone have any example oshigata of Nagayuki!!

 

Any thoughts?

[Jacques]

Hi Thierry,

 

Nakago jiri (kurijiri) and yasurime (not so deep) don't match. I have some oshigata that i will post tomorrow.

Hi,

 

No, this signature is not right. It does look like a boy's sword. There are oshigata in Fujishiro's as well as Nihonto Zuikan.

hamon is familiar, I think there is a late Bizen smith that worked in this style, also a Mino guy from the late shinshinto or Meiji period also.

Hi,

 

A Tatara Nagayuki oshigata (come from the book "les sabres Shinto" written by Serge Degore):

Thanks Jacques, these two nakago and hamons are like moon and sun, unrelated.

[Thierry BERNARD]

hi

 

you are right Remy mei from oshigata is very different but it's because

this sword ( from oshigata ) is not from Tatara Nagayuki ( NAG 562 ) but more probably from another Nagayuki ( perhaps NAG 148 not sure )

[Jacques]

Hi,

 

Perhaps i'm wrong but it seems to me that there is only one Tatara nagayuki.

[Thierry BERNARD]

i am a bit confused, cause in Hawley's mei is very different,

 

i will try to find oshigata from toko taikan ( page 467 ) or nihon toko jiten ( shinto page 181 )

What about these (Shoki Mei) ?

 

 

[Jacques]

Hi,

 

This one is OK for me :D

 

Mei says

 

Tatara shi Nagayuki on the omote, Settsu (no) kuni (ni) oite kore (wore) tsukuru on the ura.

[Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini]

Nagayuki Oite Sesshu Kuni Saku Kore

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean with "shoki mei"?

[Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini]

Made in early periods.

[Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini]

Sorry for the telegraphic replies, but I'm chatting on skype with an

estonian friend of mine.

 

I've posted the first matching with NAG 562 and then the other

not reported on Hawley (1981 edition, I've to update it...).

Likely you've stopped searching to the one with "Tatara".

I think you should find it in the sources you quoted with ref TK 467.

The mei must be read: Nagayuki settsu no kuni ni oite saku kore and it is always the same smith (Tatara Nagayuki)

And so ? Haven't you read my previous post ?

All my posts were intended to Thierry. I'm totally ignoring you (in this thread...)

[Jacques]

Hi,

 

One thing is interesting in Tatara nagayuki work, he produced an utsuri and that was rare in shinto jidai

[Thierry BERNARD]

Thank you

 

Jacques, Carlo, Gordon an Rich for your help
