Timur1981 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Hello, I would appreciate if you help me to find out was this tachi really made by Moriie Tsukuru, Hatakada in Bizen? Thank you in advance! Quote
Ray Singer Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Will take a look, but first it 'looks' like these are fresh fingerprints in the bo-hi that you may want to wipe down before re-oiling. I believe you would typically expect to find Moriie signed as tachi-mei. 1 Quote
Timur1981 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Posted July 6, 2017 Thank you Ray! I will wait for your opinion on this subject. Tell me if you will need more photos. Thank you Quote
Jacques Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Several generations of Moriie between 1200 and 1500 Search from Oei era onwards. 1 Quote
Timur1981 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Posted July 6, 2017 Thank you for your reply Jacques! Is there any way to identify generation specifically ? What do you think about its approximate price? Quote
Shugyosha Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Hi Timur, I think you should perhaps take a step back. What Ray is saying is that there is a strong possibility that this is gimei due to the placement of the mei. Also, IMHO it does look rather fresh for a group of smiths working around or pre-1300. Some examples of signatures here: http://www.sho-shin.com/hatakeda.htm More examples and some prices here: https://www.aoijapan.net/?s=hatakeda&x=31&y=18 Best, John Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Thank you Ray! I will wait for your opinion on this subject. Tell me if you will need more photos. Thank you Timur, pictures of NihonTo should be taken Without Habaki. The first Mekugiana looks altered, like the Hi was made after it provoking its present day shape. As Ray said, should be Tachimei... Quote
Jacques Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 He can be a smith from the Bungo Takada school... Who knows ? Quote
Timur1981 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Posted July 19, 2017 Hello everyone! I have found information from the auction where it was bought and have some better pictures! I hope it will help. Quote
Ray Singer Posted July 19, 2017 Report Posted July 19, 2017 Here are authentic Hatakeda, so you can compare with your sword. https://www.aoijapan.net/?s=hatakeda&x=0&y=0 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 Signature does not look authentic, however the sword is nice anyway. Quote
