Help With Judgment Paper

[alexiss]

Please help with Judgment paper,

 

who issued this Judgment paper and what it says?

Is this o.K. Judgment paper?

 

Thank you,

Looks like old Kicho Token papers from the NBTHK. I know the tokubetsu kicho papers are no longer recognized by the NBTHK, so I would assume these are the same, but perhaps I'm wrong.

The same applies to Kicho, Tokubetsu Kicho and Koshu Tokubetsu Kicho.

This looks like a Toen-sha paper issued by Murakami Sensei. Often reliable attributions to my understanding.

Hello:

 As Tom says it is a paper issued by the Toen-sha, a now defunct organization, once headed by Murakami sansei. As I understand it Murakami was a respected sword man, once on the NBTHK Juyo  panel, and the editor his organization's sword journal. The group seemed to fade away after Murakami died. John Yumoto brought the group to San Francisco in 1976 for the shinsa held there at that time.

 I believe their papers, which were issued in several grades, to the level of Juhoto, their Juyo designation, were well respected.

Looks to me that the sword is attributed to later generation Aizu Kanesada.
