Attached is part of a sayagaki on a papered kikuchi yari signed TADAYOSHI, attributed to 6th generation Hizen Tadayoshi. This was recently purchased by one of our local guys. A lovely yari with interesting hamon. I am seeing if anyone can fully read what this part of the sayagaki says, it is beyond my ability. Also, can the name of the person who wrote this be read? Quite possible some unknown fellow but it would be interesting to know his name. Name and kao is totally unfamiliar to me.

Thanks

Last 3 want to be “Kanzan Sato shirusu”, but there is no kao that usually follows his signature? :dunno:Lots of examples of his signature and kao on line.

Yes, now that I looked at examples I see the lack of his kao. Also, there seems to be a lot of variances in his handwriting writing sayagaki. I have an ubu Jirotaro Naokatsu wakizashi, a copy of a early Ichimonji blade with his sayagaki. Now I'm questioning I have that right! 

 

Yes Ed, this is a desirable yari. My friend was bidding on it so I stayed off of his, but he took my advice to stick with it which he did. I'm looking forward to making a full oshigata of it later this month. Interesting hamon.

 

I hope someone will translate what Sato said on his sayakaki. See nothing there that I can read.
