DTM72 Posted December 14, 2022 Report Posted December 14, 2022 A few pics of my Shichibeijo Sukesada. Taken in a dark closet with 2.5x zoom and flash with a I-Phone 8. Need to do it again with my 11 and see better results. 1 Quote

I think he died in 1990. I think he turned to knife-making as the post-war demand for swords steadily declined. There may not even be a swordsmith left in Osaka now - not sure. Your sword is great - similar hamon characteristics to my Yoshisada....great swordsmith family. Regards... Oops, I made a mistake Volker san...the Okishiba line is 1 gen Masatsugu had 2 sons: 2nd gen Masatsugu and Yoshisada. 2 gen Masatsugu's son was Masakuni and he was the knifemaker after the war. Sorry for the mix-up... Regards. Quote
Volker62 Posted December 18, 2022 Report Posted December 18, 2022 t'ks a lot for your help George san I'm just researching this,very interesting ! Masakuni seem to be highly talented and highly appraised... Quote
george trotter Posted December 18, 2022 Report Posted December 18, 2022 Thanks Volker, I enjoy research as well. Here is a OKIMOTO / OKISHIBA line doc from The NBTHK journal series of articles NIHON GENDAITO SHOSHI BY UCHIYAMA. You will see the line you are interested in on the left side (where a member of the Okimoto family becomes an OKISHIBA). This OKIMOTO / OKISHIBA smith is the 1st Gen Okishiba Masatsugu. You will see he had 2 sons, the elder being 2 Gen Masatsugu and the younger Okishuba Yoshisada. 2 Gen Masatsugu has the son Okishiba Masakuni and a younger son NOBUSHIGE. Your Masakuni is the one who went into knifemaking. The "pencil alterations" at the beginning of the 1 Gen Masatsugu line and at the 2 Gen Masatsugu line were done by Nobushige when we corresponded in 2006. He was very helpful on my research into Okishiba Yoshisada. Hope this helps, ask any questions you like.... 1 Quote
