Tomoyoshi? Monkey fuchi kashira help.

[Munetsugu]

Wondered if anyone can tell me anything else or any more of the mei inscription? I've bought these thinking they were made by someone else then got told they are tomoyoshi!😁 So hopefully a good buy

 

Ray very kindly deciphered the mei to Matsugetsudo Tomoyoshi + Kao but I was wondering.. is that all the characters? Or is there any more to learn from it? Or does anyone have any information about the Smith? (asking as my Japanese reading ability is about 0% and I don't want to bug ray..😆) 

 

Thank you!

I believe the correct full reading is Matsugetsudo Tomoyoshi + Kao

I see that they have neglected to remove the Ebay listing, and translated as Matsutsukido Tomozen.

Now available in Japan (apparently) from Yahoo Auctions

Anyway, I would think the correct reading is Tomoyoshi, art name of Shōgetsu-dō

Hmm very strange, I have purchased them and paid for them😆 the ebay ad which Ray noted has been taken down so fingers crossed all is ok.. I said to Ray that I'm sure a few people have listed it trying to skim money off the top of the sale as always happens with yahoo auctions and ebay etc when it comes to. Japanese tosogu/nihonto. 

 

Fingers crossed its not a scam or something wrong, seller has thousands of positive feedback so 🤞😁 I hope I receive them as I love the FK set..

Should be OK...It isn't the first time an item has appeared on multiple auction sites, as you noted. Nice piece, by the way. Good luck with it.

Upon looking at it, I believe its the same seller by looking at the other items on his account so looks like he has forgotten to take the advert down😆🤞 and cheers, can't wait to get them😁
