Oshigata search - Daido

[Toryu2020]

Looking for oshigata of all generations of Daido (大道) especially interested in the Shinshinto Yamashiro smith - 山城住権正藤原大道 - any help from this board appreciated.

Thomas, an interesting topic.  Although you may have it, attached is some background info.  In note Sesko eSwords has a good summary of the Daido smiths pages 63-65.  Text here is from 1993 book Mino-To and copies of oshigata, which reflects some variations in reports. The reference and pages of original photos in Fujishiro book are included.  There are a few more oshigata in Japanese Sword (cox website) » Oshigata: Mino-to (on.net)  Section of Late Koto has 4 and Shinto has 1.   I have another 15 or so originals from Japanese books that I will need to copy in 1-2 days.  Perhaps I should PM?

Thanks Mal - you can message me here or email toryu@toryu-mon.com - your book is archived here is it not?

Thomas, I will try PM's.  No Mino book is not archived on NMB.  It is 1993 pre-digital.

Still looking for oshigata of the "Omichi" smith who worked in Kyoto - and now I am after oshigata of the Heianjo Nagayoshi smith who worked circa Kanbun - plenty of signatures for the Muromachi smith but I am interested in the artist using this signature in the Shinto period.

 

Thanking you in advance,
