Yamazakura Fr Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 Hello Someone offers me a tanto with this signature I have translate with: Bishu Osafune Hikobei jo Norimitsu Bunmei ju nen ni gatsu hi what do you think about this? Regards Quote
Ray Singer Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 Moroba tanto. Translation is correct. I am not certain, but my gut feeling is that the mei is good. I would point out that the nakago appears to have been reshaped and is not ubu. Quote
Yamazakura Fr Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Posted July 17, 2018 Thank you for your answer Here are pics of the blade (nagasa 17 cm) Regards Quote
Ray Singer Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 Short moroba tanto is one type of sugata seen in Muromachi Bizen. The examples I have seen were generally nice. A Yozosaemon was for sale in Japan nice long ago, which I believe we discussed here. Quote
