acoyauh Posted August 15, 2019 Report Posted August 15, 2019 Hello, forumersAgain seeking your assistance to help me read a sword signature. This one bears a Seki armory seal, so it's most likely a 'showato', but its manufacture is really beautiful.I'm sorry for the diagonal pic, at this point it's the only one I can provide, since the sword itself has not arrived yet. I'll appreciate your help with the transliteration and pronunciation of the mei. Thank you! Quote
Peter Bleed Posted August 15, 2019 Report Posted August 15, 2019 Dude's name was MASATSUNE. No idea who he was. Peter P.S. I'm also not sure of his family name. Amaike mebbe? 1 Quote
acoyauh Posted August 15, 2019 Author Report Posted August 15, 2019 Thank you, Peter! Masatsune Amaike, sometimes recorded as Amachi, is a Seki tosho alright, although later moved to work on gendaito, this particular one is Seki sealed, so probably an earlier work. I appreciate the help, once I get a 'readable' name my research is much easier. Quote
