Does anyone have any oshigata or other information on a showa smith named Munetsugu? I have found one reference (name only) for a Tanaka Munetsugu, who was a mediocre RJT smith. I cannot find any other references or examples of his mei.

Thank you,

John C.

John, for Tanaka Munetsugu all I could find was he was from Tochigi (old Shimotsuke or Yashu) in NE Honshu.  Also a smith of that name was a student of Konno Akimune who was a student Kasama Shigetsugu at Denshujo in Tokyo. And he is listed as a RJT.

Do you have this one?

Thank you Malcolm and Bruce. 

Yes, I saw that. However I was not sure if the Shimotsuke mei was maybe an artist name for Tanaka Munetsugu or a different person.
