47 Ronin

[Clive Sinclaire]

Gentlemen

I wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction. I am researching for a magazine article and am interested in finding out what swords were carried by any of the 47 ronin in the revenge attack on Lord Kira. I know a couple which are a Rai Kunitoshi and a Kanemitsu but that is all. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hi Clive,

There were an article from Albert YAMANAKA.

Hope it helps.

Clive there is a bit on the net about this and I remember having seen an article on all the swords carried by the 47 Ronin. Googling is always good, but in the meantime I'll see if I kept the article or the reference on google. Try Elliot Long's site, Shoshin. I think that may be where I found it.

Hello Clive

 

I'll duck into the museum next day or so and see what swords are listed in the exhibits. Have a feeling there's a flyer about it but could be wrong. Always glad of the excuse to put down another Y150's worth of incense.

Gentlemen

Thanks very much for the very useful input. I had tried to Google search without much success but I will drop Ron Hartmann a line for permission to quote from his Yamanaka note. Please put Yen 150's worth of insense down for me Phillip and I'll owe you a drink.

Regards

Probably good to email Ron, but since he allowed me to post it on my website to share with the world, I don't see any problem. Just be sure he is given credit which I'm sure you would anyway.
