Enomoto Sadayoshi tanto

[Ray Singer]

I know that there are some collectors on this discussion forum who are interested in shinsakuto and wanted to send over this link.

I have not personally dealt with this seller, and cannot vouch for them, but thought this might be of interest to someone in the NMB. It is the first I have seen by Sadayoshi with ayasugi-hada, most of his works (and those of his sons) seem to have been done in the Soshu-den.

Father and son collaboration.

 

Speaking of Gassan, I purchased the following sword from Moses Beccera a few months ago:

To my surprise this sword papered to Den Gassan Sadakatsu (Taisho era) at the recent NTHK Sydney shinsa. I thought this might have been olderr ... Perhaps even ko-Gassan.

 

Does anyone on the forum have examples from the generation that they could send me? Email address is jorrman@gmail.com.

By the shape and style looks more like Gassan Sadayoshi's work to me than any of the later Gassan smiths...

Yes, I am familiar with that piece. There is another Sadayoshi Sadahito gassaku for sale now in Japan.

I used to own a very beautiful gassaku by those two smiths that appeared to have been done as a copy of O-Kanemitsu.
