hudomeld Posted April 4 Report Posted April 4 Hello again, I came across this katana which looked promising so i bought it.. Any thought on this one? Nagasa 66cm Sori 1.5cm Moto kasane 7.2mm Saki kasane 5mm Moto haba 31mm Saki haba 21mm Quote
hudomeld Posted April 4 Author Report Posted April 4 Many thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions. Yours David Quote
2devnul Posted April 4 Report Posted April 4 My guess is based on Sugata and Nakago. Echizen Seki is a Shinto school. All is just a guess from newbie collector Quote
Rivkin Posted April 5 Report Posted April 5 The nakago is Edo but for the rest would prefer to see images with light from a side. If light is from above, even if its just room fixture, it flattens hada and whitens hamon. There is only one very specific position above which is ok for taking pictures. Quote
David Flynn Posted April 5 Report Posted April 5 John, I think you mean Late Meiji. His first ten years are classed as Shinshinto. Quote
hudomeld Posted April 5 Author Report Posted April 5 Thanks for your replies. The polish is unfortunatelly an old one so its quite hard to find the photo angle to see the hada strcture.. But i will do my best! What about mid edo around 1640-1700? And bitchu..? Quote
hudomeld Posted April 5 Author Report Posted April 5 Better photos are yet to come.. still.. Sorry 🙃 David Quote
oli Posted April 5 Report Posted April 5 The nakago, the sugata, the length tends to gendai, but without signature i don't think you or we come closer to a result. Only a shinsa in Japan may help, or you can bring it to Utrecht to let some experts have a look on it: https://www.japanartfair.com/program/ 1 Quote
