John C Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 Hello: I recently picked up this cheap (and probably newer) kogatana and would be interested in knowing the theme. Does anyone recognize this? The kozuka is unsigned; the mei on the kogatana is unreadable. Thank you, John C. Quote
Scogg Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 It's tough to get a good eye on it. Any chance on getting a more clear image? Here's my shot-in-the-dark guess: Two Samurai in armor jumping from boat to boat over waves. One with a naginata, and one with a sword 1 Quote
Nobody Posted August 18, 2023 Report Posted August 18, 2023 At the Battle of Dan-no-ura, Minamoto no Yoshitsune jumped from ship to ship as he evaded the pursuit of Taira no Noritsune. This is Yoshitsune’s famous “hasso-tobi” or “Leaping of Eight Ships”. Ref. Battle of Dan-no-ura - Wikipedia 6 Quote
