Bruce Pennington Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 I think this is Yoshiomi, but Sesko has him as YOSHIOMI (義臣), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Gifu – “Yoshiomi” (義臣), real name Takeyama Kazuo (武山数男), born April 3rd 1910, he was the younger brother of Yoshinao (義尚) and worked as guntō smith, ryōkō no retsu (Akihide) But this looks like "Takamasa" rather than Takayama 武山 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROKUJURO Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Bruce, I am not an expert, but I think this was indeed meant to be read as YAMA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pennington Posted July 20 Author Report Share Posted July 20 Well by golly, after you said that, I checked the Japaneseswordindex.com Oshigata page and it's a match! Just can't imagine he was cutting "Yama" this way, but he did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
