Bugyotsuji Posted May 22, 2024 Report Posted May 22, 2024 模 has the meaning of ‘in tribute to’, or ‘copy of’. (兼元Kanemoto？) 3 1 Quote
Kiipu Posted May 22, 2024 Report Posted May 22, 2024 Here is a picture of another one, credited to Kanemoto. Looks like he added 模 to the mei. Kanemoto Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted May 22, 2024 Report Posted May 22, 2024 I don't see the similarity: Yantolee, Could we see the whole nakago and blade? 1 Quote

So that makes sense then. Kanemoto didn't make this blade. Someone else made one in his style "in tribute" to him. 1 Quote

ROKUJURO Posted May 23, 2024 Report Posted May 23, 2024 Yantolee, why did you post this in the MILITARY section? Was the signature found on a military blade? Please show more images of the sword! 1 Quote
