RobertM Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 Hi all, So I picked up this Wak from Moses's site, nice large, stout blade, he believes the blade is Koto/Shinto singed Tomosada Saku but not 100% any ideas. The mei is very feint so quite hard to get a good pic of. thanks Rob M Quote
outlier48 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 Hi Rob - nice get! Yeah, the mei is difficult to read. Are you saying "友貞"? I'm guessing here and could be way off. Any known Tomosada signing his work with a two character mei? Charlie Brashear Quote
RobertM Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Posted June 27, 2010 Thanks guys, ive tried a bit of photoshopping to try and make it a bit clearer Rob M Quote
george trotter Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Mei seems to be FUYUSADA SAKU. Regards, Geo. Quote
RobertM Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Posted July 3, 2010 Thanks for the response, its a real tough one to make out, I agree that its a possibility its Fuyusada. This may be a stupid question but I don't have many reference books but where there many Fuyusada's in the late Koto period? Quote
outlier48 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 Rob - I didn't find a reference to Fuyusada in my limited resources. Lots of Fuyuhiro smith, though. Anyone else able to find a reference to a smith using Fuyusada? Charlie Brashear Quote
