Phenomena Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 Just acquired this wakizashi from a board member and new to collecting. Would like to get more information/history on the mei and sword smith if possible. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks! Quote
Surfson Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 Looks like Kazusa no Kami Shigeyasu to me. Worked in Settsu 1661 Quote
Surfson Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 It's Osaka Shinto - see the yakidashi as a classic feature Quote
Phenomena Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Posted November 21, 2011 Thank you. Do you know of any sources to get detailed information on that specific smith? Maybe certain books you recommend. I have a few but they just show very basic details since they cover so many. It's Osaka Shinto - see the yakidashi as a classic feature Quote
runagmc Posted November 21, 2011 Report Posted November 21, 2011 Looks like a nice wakizashi. Here's Shigeyasu's basic info if you don't already have it... http://nihontoclub.com/smiths/SHI674 Quote
Phenomena Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Posted November 21, 2011 Yes, thank you I am really enjoying it. I actually found that link as well but was looking for a more in depth profile and history if possible. Looks like a nice wakizashi.
