Thank you

 

The one on top refers to Masahiro whom eventually became Tsunahiro and the second is Akihiro? I'm lost. I have a 3rd attribution that is totally out of whack (already translated).. maybe time to send it NBTHK since it's in fresh polish..

 

I appreciate your time

The paper on top does not contain any reference to Masahiro nor specify which generation of Tsunahiro this is.

Now I'm curious about your 3rd translation that's out of whack. I'm dying to know.

Would NBTHK be able to clarify should it pass Tokubetso hozon (no doubt for me)?

 

Where do I find examples of several Tsunahiro generations? Sho shin website mentions 3 generations but that's all I can find.

 

The blade has an interesting hitarsura-like nie clusters (forgot the term for it) and an enormous amount of utsuri primarily by the monouchi area.. none I can capture in a photo..

 

Thank you

Mumei Tsunahiro is extremely unlikely to pass Tokubetsu Hozon. With only a few exceptions, the NBTHK does not pass Tokubetsu Hozon for mumei Muromachi works. 

[Ray Singer]

That said, the NBTHK may or may not give more specifics below the attribution at Hozon. They might also give it another attribution altogether.

Thank you!

 

Good to know.

 

P.S. it looks nanbokucho but NBTHK will have the say
