Fumei Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 Hello All! I would be grateful for your opinion on this sword. Quote
Ray Singer Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 Signed Takada ju Yukimori. Please do not lay the bare blade directly on the floor or any abrasive surfaces. 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 For us to tell more about the blade, please take some photos of the totally-bare blade,as the sugata is the first thing to check for to determine jidai. Quote
Rivkin Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 Does not look to be showato though with such hamon could have been there. Sugu boshi - probably shinto. So basically a run of the mill shinto mino. Without looking into books regarding the signed name - out of laziness. Erroneous and personal opinion. Kirill R. Quote
Fumei Posted November 29, 2019 Author Report Posted November 29, 2019 Thank you all very much. This sword is not mine, I will ask the seller to send other photos. Quote
Ray Singer Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 I think its reasonable to take the mei I translated above at face value. Shinto Takada. Quote
16k Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 With the (undeserved) bad reputation of the Bungo Takada school, i dont see why someone would make a gimei Takada. 3 Quote
Ray Singer Posted November 29, 2019 Report Posted November 29, 2019 Yes, I don't recall ever seeing a shinto Takada / Fujiwara Takada which was judged to be gimei. Quote
