Tegai?

[Jon MB]

Hello Folks,

 

Does this look like a Yamato piece? Maybe Tegai?

 

Sorry if it's a silly question.

 

Needs a polish, but I like it. More used to seeing Bizen style hamon.

 

Silver covered habaki. Mumei piece.

 

Thank you in advance

Kanbun Shinto.

[Jon MB]

Thank you David. 

 

That based on sori? I thought it could be an older piece in Yamato tradition.

[Okan]

Yeah, based on sori it's Kanbun. But it's hard to say more in its current condition. And i don't think it's a Tegai.

Thank you Okan for the input

[vajo]

looks su-tegai to me (could be) but the picture is with habaki.

Kambun shinto, the work has strong Yamato flavor but I don't think its anywhere close to Shigekuni school. Owari did a lot of Yamato stuff.

Nakago jiri suggests it can be suriage, Am i right ?

[Jon MB]

Correct, Jacques.
