Hi Greenkayaks,

 

It's shinto périod (approximatly 350 years).

 

Yes Surfson it's Echigo no kami Kanesada.

 

For me the mei is good but I'm not a expert.

 

Do you see the hamon?

Hi,

 

Mei reads Echigo no kami Kanesada 越後守貞. If it is the nidai and if it is shoshin, you are very lucky, Echigo no kami Kanesada nidai (who also signed Sakakura Gonnoshin Terukane 坂倉言之進照包 is a big name, rated jojo saku. However the shodai is not a bad one rated Jo saku.

Jerôme,

 

Don't be shy and call Surfson : Robert or Bob or Bobby (if you are intimate), it is friendlier and we are not in a cloak and dagger novel, though sometimes...

 

Greenkayaks : Before someone else makes the remark, could you please sign, according the Board rules, either by :

 

- First name

- Family name

- Pen name

 

All your posts

 

Thanks in advance

[Greenkayaks]

Sorry for the missing signature, fixed.

 

I dont see the hamon?

 

Peace

For consideration: nidai KANESADA added his mei very close to the nakago-mune, almost touching it. He kept doing so after changing his name into TERUKANE.
