Certificate

[Yoshii]

Hi all out there.

Recently I have obtained a katana with a certificate from the Bijutsu Nihonto Hozon Shinsakai.

In the certificate it is stated as holding the Tokubetsu Kicho status.

It is mu mei and attributed to Bungo Fujiwara Yukinaga.

The certificate is dated SHowa 58th year 4th month 24th day.

 

Does anyone of you knwo anything about this organisation

 

I only have found on the Italian Nihonto forum a mesaage from someone who also had a certificate from this organisation, but I cant make out, because I can't read Italian , what they said about it.

 

Any information would be welcome

Greetings Jos Bonsel

I know few about the organization. The Bijutsu Nihonto Hozon Shinsakai (美術日本刀保存審査会) and the Nihon Bijutsuhin Hozon Shinsakai (日本美術品保存審査会) seem to be both presided over by Honami Tsunemasa (本阿弥常政) in Okayama.
