James Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Hello everyone, Does anyone know which Kanemoto this piece could be forged by? Please note that the patina on the nakago isn't as new as it appears to be on the close up of the mei. Have a look at the first photo to see a more accurate patination colour. Quote
Jean Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 James, I don't know which generation but it looks a kodai one, late generation, the mei and yasurime are outstanding/crisp, the sanbonsugi is very regular.... Quote
James Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 Does anyone have an oshigata for comparison? As Jacques suggested, it would probably be a Sukesada from the Gendai era. Quote
John A Stuart Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Here is a pic of a nakago of the 27th generation Kanemoto. John Quote
James Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Posted June 8, 2008 From John's photo I think we could safely assume that the sword in question is an earlier generation - perhaps 25th or 26th generation? Quote
