hudomeld Posted Friday at 06:38 PM Author Report Posted Friday at 06:38 PM And why shinto? David Quote
2devnul Posted Friday at 07:46 PM Report Posted Friday at 07:46 PM My guess is based on Sugata and Nakago. Echizen Seki is a Shinto school. All is just a guess from newbie collector Quote
hudomeld Posted Friday at 09:17 PM Author Report Posted Friday at 09:17 PM Not that bad at all... Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted Saturday at 12:24 AM Report Posted Saturday at 12:24 AM Looks closer to Shin Shinto or Meiji. 1 Quote
Rivkin Posted Saturday at 12:28 AM Report Posted Saturday at 12:28 AM 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 Saturday at 01:50 AM Report Posted Saturday at 01:50 AM John, I think you mean Late Meiji. His first ten years are classed as Shinshinto. Quote
oli Posted Saturday at 05:53 AM Report Posted Saturday at 05:53 AM For me it looks like Gendai (wartime) from Seki Quote
hudomeld Posted Saturday at 07:01 AM Author Report Posted Saturday at 07:01 AM 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 Saturday at 07:09 AM Author Report Posted Saturday at 07:09 AM Better photos are yet to come.. still.. Sorry 🙃 David Quote
oli Posted Saturday at 08:07 AM Report Posted Saturday at 08:07 AM 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
