Information on Keishinsai Naomasa

[Hartigan]

I just recently bought a katana made by Keishinsai Naomasa and I've been doing some research on him online, I know that he was a student of Taikei Naotane and that he worked for the Soma clan but not much else.

I've seen some posts about him on here so I was wondering if anyone here knows more about him or knows of any sources that mention him?

Hi Hartigan, here is a TH katana from AOI Japan. Try Echizen Naomasa and you find his work..

PS and please share your blade, welcome in the Naotane clan

Thank you for the info, I should mention that the piece that I bought is not signed but is a mumei. I bought it from Andy Quirt so you can see it here on his website: http://www.nihonto.us/SHINSHINTO%20KATANA.htm
