Paz Posted May 24, 2022 Report Posted May 24, 2022 Hi all I thought I post up few photos of my first sword I got back in February. I had read few books, but wanted a blade with history attached. It's a late muromachi 1527 hozon papered blade from Mino senjuin school by Kanesaki. What attracted me to the blade was price and it being a Koto era sword. Also the history of the sengoku jidai and that this blade was one of many produced for the war effort. However it is o suriage and mumei. Koshiare was meiji era, but the blade had been polished not too long ago. It has sashikomi polish and sanbunsugi hamon / togari gunome. As it was my first sword, I ensured it was papered and some history to it. I dont ever plan to sell the blade, probably will get new koshiare made for it at some point. It has nice jigane , jinie and hada, which my camera fails to get with current photos. I personally love the blade. And it was my first ever purchase in this new hobby of mine.

I will do the lighting wasn't great. Capturing the detail can be the most annoying aspect lol Just noticed one picture with detail didn't show up,il re post 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 Paz, please take a look at the sixth photo here, https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/39816-tanto-yoroi-doshi-unmounted/ That angle tells us a lot, because the nioi-guchi highlights the real details. It does take some practice, though. Quote
Paz Posted May 29, 2022 Author Report Posted May 29, 2022 Hi Ken , yep I see your point. It's crazy how time and day can bring out different details. Il do another one today to get more details Regards Quote
NewB Posted May 29, 2022 Report Posted May 29, 2022 That's the beauty of the nihonto world.. and the more you clean it the more details you'll see.. it's a great, fulfilling experience Cheers J Quote
