cisco-san Posted January 29, 2020 Report Posted January 29, 2020 I’m still very new to Japanese swords. How old is this blade? Hi, from Markus book: TADAKUNI (忠国), 1st gen., Keian (慶安, 1648-1652), Hizen – “Hizen-jū Harima no Daijō Fujiwara Tadakuni” (肥前住播摩大掾藤原忠国), “Harima no Daijō Fujiwara Tadakuni” (播磨大掾藤原忠国), “Hishū-jū Harima Nyūdō Fujiwara Kyūtetsu” (肥州播摩入道藤原休鉄), “Harima Nyūdō Fujiwara Kyūtetsu” (播磨入道藤原休鉄), the 1st gen. Tadakuni was born in Keichō three (慶長, 1598) as second son Hirosada (広貞) who changed his name later to Yoshiie (吉家), real name Hashimoto Rokurōzaemon (橋本六郎左衛門), he signed first with Hironori (広則) but changed his name with receiving the honorary title Harima no Daijō in Kan´ei eleven (寛永, 1634) to Tadakuni (忠国), his nyūdō-gō was Kyūtetsu (休鉄) and he died on the 22nd day of the fourth month Genroku four (元禄, 1691) at the age of 94, dense and standing-out ko-itame with ji-nie all over the blade which appears as konuka-hada, the hamon is mostly a flamboyant and excellently tempered chōji-midare or gunome-chōji, but also a chū-suguha is found, during his early years he signed the character “ma” (磨) in “Harima” (播磨) with the variant (摩), it seems that he changed towards the common way of writing at some time during the Shōhō era (正保, 1644-1648), in later years he returned to (摩), some say that all blades signed with the variant (磨) are actually daisaku-daimei works of the 2nd gen. but this can´t be proofed, wazamono, jō-saku 1 Quote

Brian Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 @Dave L Please post an intro in the General Discussion thread...it will help, since with one post you aren't going to get many sellers trusting you. Always helps if you know some known people in the community. We are justifiably cautious. Thanks. Quote
