partyjam3 Posted June 14, 2024 Report Posted June 14, 2024 I was wondering how old this Wakizashi is and if possible who the smith is? Google translate hasn’t helped me with the certificate. Quote
Tsuku Posted June 14, 2024 Report Posted June 14, 2024 The certificate is a torokusho and it just says: wakizashi, length 44.2 cm, sori 1.1cm, 1 mekugi-ana. The inscription column (銘文 meibun) says 判読不明 handoku fumei, meaning illegible. 3 Quote
Shugyosha Posted June 14, 2024 Report Posted June 14, 2024 Finger in the air, I'd say the sugata is similar to Kanbun shinto (circa 1660) but it looks like the lines have lost some of their crispness so that might be off. I think shinto seems a reasonable guess though, rather than earlier or later. 1 Quote
