Thank you, Jussi, for the great exercise and deep scholarship.

Thank you Jussi,

An excellent exercise and in some ways a reality check. I agree with Michael the level of scholarship in your explanation is exceptional and very informative

A great exercise, much appreciated.

Wow Jussi! That is fantastic. I wouldn't have called it that early. A really great line of smiths.
Congrats, I share your love of good naginata. What a stunning addition to your collection, you must be very happy indeed.

Wow! thanks. I will readily say Yoshikage would be zero chance for me on this one.

I thought it would be too hard to find such an old Naginata and therefore unlikely to be this old. Kantei shouldn’t be influenced by such thinking of course. 
Thanks for the detailed explanation and the Kantei.

 

Also congratulations to find such a nice piece.

Thanks Jussi - hugely informative as most of your posts are, but this one is a complete lesson in itself!

Thanks Jussi!

 

While I might of missed that one by a wide country mile, it was an informative exercise all the same. Beautiful Naginata, and a real treat to see such an early signed and dated example. 

Sincerely,

Austin R.
