Marius Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Dear All, I have recently bought a sword with the mei of a Bizen Yokoyama smith, Sukenaga. Would you please help to decipher the mei? Many thanks :-) Quote
Jacques Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Hi, Reveal hidden contents Mei reads (ura) Bizen Osafune Ju - Kikumon Ichi and (omote) Yokohama Kaga no suke Fujiwara Sukenaga Quote
Yoshii Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Hello out there, Last year I also did aquire a katana made by Yokoyama Sukenaga Sadly enough it does have two hagiri. It is almost signed the same way, the kiku mon and the kanji are on the side with the kanji Bizen Osafune ju On the other side is not only his name but also the date inscribed. I'm not an epert on Sukenaga, but it could be that my sword was signed by Sukekane, his nephew. Greeting Jos Quote

Greeting Jos Hi Jos, thanks a bunch for the pics :-) I presume that due top hagiri this sword does not have any NBTHK or NTHK papres? I would love to compare the mei on my sword with some authentic Sukenaga mei. So far I have two pictures of Sukenaga's mei from the Compton catalogues... Quote
