Jussi Ekholm Posted November 29, 2021 Report Posted November 29, 2021 Here are two tanto both Tokubetsu Hozon by NBTHK: https://sanmei.com/contents/media/T2174_T5010_PUP.html https://www.tsuruginoya.com/mn1_3/f00117.html Then there are lots of his combination work with other smiths that do not have Ukyō no Suke in mei. I know there is a Katana in Jūyō 66 that has mei 備州長船勝光 / 文明十二二年八月日 so it is dated to 1482 but I have not seen info on it yet. I do have info 2 katana by Katsumitsu both dated to 1493 but I am not certain if they are late work by Ukyō no Suke or early work by Jirōzaemon. Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted November 29, 2021 Author Report Posted November 29, 2021 Thanks for your replies. The sword I am looking at is dated 1487 Quote
