Curran Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 Ciao Ciro. Come e' Stuttgart oggi? The first kozuka is signed _____yuki. Probably it is signed Naoyuki. Certainly of the Hamano school, but there are a lot of forgeries. If you remind me later, I will look it up and give an opinion on the signature. The second kozuka is signed 'Joi'. It is a very famous name. It is extremely likely this is gimei (false signature) The tsuba is signed 'Hiro____ (I cannot see the second character).' This form of Hiro character was mostly used in the 1800s, often by the students of the Uchikoshi school (a Mito sub school), but not entirely. When I can read it, I will look it up later.

SteveM Posted February 3, 2022 Report Posted February 3, 2022 1. 矩隋 Noriyuki 望窓軒 Bōsōken (art name of Noriyuki). Could be 1st or 2nd generation, as both used that same art name at one point. 3. 弘基 Hiromoto (kaō). Wakayama says he lived in Mito (similar to what Curran mentioned). 2 Quote
Curran Posted February 4, 2022 Report Posted February 4, 2022 Thank you Steve. I should have read that as Noriyuki. The Moto character of Hiromoto was beyond me. Quote
