JeanEB Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 Hi to everyone in this community, I encountered recently a tachi on yahoo Japan with these accompanying papers. Now while while all affirmations from this site have to be taken with a grain of salt, I'd never seen the names Honami Tadanobu and Fukunaga Suiken on origami before. Could somebody with more experience help me translate those and help with getting a rough idea of their authenticity? I am unsure which generation Honami Tadanobu is. Thanks in advance Quote
Toryu2020 Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 Nothing suspicious here - Tadanobu was eighth in the Satsuma Hon'Ami line while Fukunaga Suiken was a giant in the sword world especially known for his prolific writings... Quote
JeanEB Posted March 5 Author Report Posted March 5 Hi Thomas, thank you for taking the time to respond. I guess my suspicion was due to the fact that both those papers were associated with a presumed tachi from Awataguchi Kunitsuna, although unpapered by the NBTHK. https://www.jauce.com/auction/h1175718202 I am always concerned when a presumed sword from a great master is unpapered in Japan, especially when the Sugata doesn't scream Kamakura. Of course, it could be from another of the Kunitsunas that aren't Awataguchi around that period... Quote
Toryu2020 Posted March 6 Report Posted March 6 The lack of modern papers is of course a concern neither of these is any kind of guarantee - Would consider them a very neat part of its history... -t 1 Quote
