rebcannonshooter Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 Hi Charlie, its kind of poorly written, but what I can figure out is: No-Shu Seki Ju Ni Ju San Dai, (?) Yama Kane-Fusa Saku Kore. Twenty third generation Kanefusa made this, (having a mental block trying to figure the family name (something Yama) There was a ww2 smith that signed 23rd gen Kanefusa, but he used the Fujiwara name??? Hope this helps, Tom M. Quote
SteveM Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 I think it is Fujiwara, which, as Tom mentions is the usual way of signing. Its just that the photo is so close, the bottom part of the Fujiwara kanji (藤原) is emphasized to the point where it looks like a different kanji. 濃州関住二十三代藤原兼房作之 Quote
rebcannonshooter Posted February 10, 2020 Report Posted February 10, 2020 Thanks Steve, I was wondering what it could be!!! Tom M. Quote
