Gunome Posted December 9 Report Posted December 9 Hello, Excepted the Ju, I cannot identify the other kanji of this mei on a Koto tanto. Too tricky for me due to bad condition of the nakago. Also the strokes are thin. Does anyone has an idea on the mei ? Thanks Quote
Nobody Posted December 9 Report Posted December 9 I am not sure, but it could be 三原住政宗 (or 家?) – Mihara ju Masamune (or Masaie?). 2 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted December 9 Report Posted December 9 To me, it strongly looks as if a MEI was erased by filing down the NAKAGO. In an attempt to add a new MEI, this was done very amateurishly. The last KANJI looks somewhat like SUKE 右 to me. Quote
Gunome Posted December 9 Author Report Posted December 9 Hello, Thanks for your replies For me, no issue on the nakago, it is ubu and looks consistent with the blade. The color difference is just the shadow because I have the light in my back when I taken the photos. Quote
