Itomagoi Posted October 27 Report Posted October 27 Hello, I am looking for some more Information about the smith Akimaro. There isn’t much info available about him. His familyname ist Nagashima Heijiro. He was also a tool maker and his trade name was Nagashima Munenori. He studied under Kurihara Akihide at the Denshujo and became a Rikugun Jumei Tosho. He was from the Niigata area in northern Japan. He used one kanji from Akihide and one from Kiyomaro. Oddly, he wasn’t listed in Kurihara’s 1942 smith ranking nor any other list. 1 1 1 Quote
Itomagoi Posted October 29 Author Report Posted October 29 This page might be interesting for those who have an Akimaro. http://daikudougu.web.fc2.com/nagasima.html 1 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted October 29 Report Posted October 29 You already have more than Sesko lists: "AKIMARO (昭麿), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Niigata – “Akimaro” (昭麿), family name Yoneda (米田)" 2 1 Quote
Itomagoi Posted October 31 Author Report Posted October 31 You're right, Bruce. But I was still hoping that experts might know more and be able to add something. 1 1 Quote
