Toryu2020 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 I only have this one picture - I can read the signature and know the smith is Kunihiro 国広 - what I don't get are the two kanji at the top of the Nakago. Any help appreciated. Please don't ask for more photos this is all I have. Also does this look like a Komonjo special? -t Quote
francois2605 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 This doesn't look like a regular Komonjo mei to me: yours looks way more "cursive" Here's an example from a Komonjo's sword currently being auctioned. Quote
