Yoshii Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Hi everyone, so now i'm trying to get some information on teh smith who made this wakizashi. It is signed on one side Echizen ju and on the other side Iwami no Kami Fujiwara Nobuyori. I think it is the Nobuyori who is working around the Kanbun period (1661 - 1673) see Hawley nob 571 and in the Nihon to Nyumon page 200 and 290 He was working together with nidai Shigetaka (shi 506) So please correct me if i'm wrong. Does anyone has any further information on this smith? Thanks anyway, Yoshii Quote
Grey Doffin Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 I checked my Index of Japanese Sword Literature for Nobuyori. You'll find him on page 327 of volume 1 of Shinto Taikan, page 176 of Zuikan Tomei Soran, and page 44 of volume 17, #2 JSS/US "Newsletter". Grey Quote
Brian Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Grey's index of Japanese Sword Literature is a great reference work for those that don't have it. Belongs in every Nihonto library. Tells you in which reference books the individiual smiths are mentioned and where to look. Quite a compilation, and worth the (cheap) price it is going for. Can be bought from AFU research here: http://www.afuresearch.com/doffin.htm Regards, Brian Quote
