lonely panet Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Posted January 23, 2012 thank you all for your help, I had trouble with comparing this mei to the "kunemune" in john sloughs book. for a low rated smith his mei his his showto are very rough but i assume he was also employed as a nakirishmei specialist as he all so signed other meis for other smiths like IDO hidetoshi and his father FUKUMOTO amahide. but thank you again for your help. regards Hamish Quote
