Tôken is an abbreviation of the Taisho book "Katana no Kenkyu"

Sôran is as you say Tôken Sôran - references where more info may be found on this smith.

 

The parentheses quote a sayagaki 鞘書き not sure what the connection is, could Kunitada be another name this smith used, a student or is this a typo?

Hello,

I must apologize a lot because it's only today that I become aware of your answers. I do not know what happened but I missed them completely.

Anyway thanks a lot, and as we say in french "Mieux vaut tard que jamais" Could be translated as better late than never.

Very best regards.

Marc
