swordeval Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Hi, I recently acquired a tanto and I was wondering if someone might be able to help me the mei on the nakago (see photos). Would I be incorrect in calling it a unokubi zukuri tanto? I had a go at translating it and I think the second kanji reads Mitsu 光 . Apologies for the poor quality of the photos. Thanks for your help, Ellie, Quote
Ray Singer Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Norimitsu. These kanji were used by the so called 'Ho' Norimitsu. https://www.aoijapan.net/katana-bishu-osafune-norimitsu-tachi-mei/ Your tanto looks shinshinto though. Quote
