Jussi Ekholm Posted June 5, 2023 Report Posted June 5, 2023 I think I have a guess what the list might be. I think I should have pictures of all of the items (at least almost all of them) but unfortunately it takes too much time for me to take the pictures as I will be going to Japan in few days. This would be the list for Koto items I believe, I might have an error in calculations there somewhere. Item - Ownership or shinsa session Kanenaga - NBTHK Kunitomo - TJ11 Yoshimitsu - Unfortunately too many for me to count fast Kuniyuki - NBTHK Kunitoshi - Private Hyogo (last ownership data I have of it) Ryokai - Private Hyogo (last ownership data I have of it) Nobuyoshi - NBTHK Norinaga - Private Tokyo (last ownership data I have of it) Masamune - 3 options Sadamune - 6 options Hiromitsu (I believe this would be wakizashi length) - 6 options Kaneuji - NBTHK Go - TJ16 Masatsune - 8 options (but in case the list is what I believe it to be the one owned by NBTHK would be most likely) Tadashige - TJ12 Fukuoka Ichimonji - Multiple options (but in case the list is what I believe it to be the one owned by NBTHK would be most likely) Mitsutada - 3 options Nagamitsu - 14 options Kanemitsu - Private Tokyo (last ownership data I have of it) Unji - 7 options Morimitsu - 5 options (but in case the list is what I believe it to be the one owned by NBTHK would be most likely) Yasumitsu - 4 options Sukesada - 6 options Sukezane - 2 options Moritsugu - Private Yamagata (last ownership data I have of it) Kiyotsuna - NBTHK Yasutsuna - Too many tachi by Yasutsuna without further info (of course by similar logic to above the 80,1 cm owned by NBTHK would be logical one) Sanemori - 2 options Kunitoki - 4 options 3 1 Quote
Mark Posted June 5, 2023 Report Posted June 5, 2023 i would guess the list is an exhibition or display listing the swords there. I am not sure how you could ever identify which swords are on your list as Jussi points out there are multiple swords by the makers that are Juyo and some above. If you had the length or something else to identify the sword you might have a chance 1 Quote
Tom Darling Posted June 7, 2023 Author Report Posted June 7, 2023 Hi Jussi, I appreciate the posted kaji. I am curious if all listed were in a dated shinsa. I do have the nagasa on three of them, maybe different from listed. No I guess in several shinsa of course. Thank you Jussi for the update. Quote
Tom Darling Posted June 7, 2023 Author Report Posted June 7, 2023 Hi Mark, I agree with you on this matter. Thank you. Quote
Toryu2020 Posted June 7, 2023 Report Posted June 7, 2023 Could this have been an NBTHK national convention display? 1 Quote

1kinko Posted June 15, 2023 Report Posted June 15, 2023 FYI- New newsletter from Markus Sesko divides graphics on dates vs number of swords rated as juyo. 1 Quote
