Shoshichii Kanenori Tanto

[almeister]

Hi Guys

I speak of the shin shinto/gendaito smith Miyamoto Kanenori

We are familiar with his "Teishitsu Gigeiin " (Artisan of imperial court )

title - however in his latest years he was given an Imperial Court Ranking "Shoshichii #7 rank of imperial court " at approximately age 90

 

I collect his most latest made blades with the Shoshichii mei & also blades that display the "ku yo" 9 circle crest on the nakago

The pic attached is a wakizashi i have which shows the mei i speak of (nbthk hozon) certified

Mei - Shoshichii Miyamoto Kanenori Ku Ju San Saku (93 years old made)

Taisho Ju Ichi (1922)

It is actually signed tachi mei - but the other blades i have are signed Katana mei - the ku yo may then appear on the ura side of nakago

 

If anyone has/knows of a tanto as described that would consider selling - i would like to hear from you

 

Thanks & Kind Regards !

Thanks Tom

I've seen your site

This is a Great Blade !

However , as titled , I seek only his "Shoshichii " signed blades that bear the ku yo crest

Many Thanks !
