Yoshii Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 Does anyone give me some help on this mei? I can read Yokoyama and sukesada, but the 3 kanji between puzzle me. I gues it could be Kozuke Daijo, but then there is one kanji missing of Kozuke, and the three kanji are not readable to me because the mekugi ana are on these place. Could this be done because the nakago is so small? The cutting edge is 20,6 cm and the nakago 8,5 cm long I bought this tanto on eBay, and asked the seller if he knew what these three kanji should read, but he anwsered me the mei was only Yokoyama Sukesada and nothing else. Hoping for some anwsers, Yoshii (J.M. Bonsel) Quote
Grey Doffin Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 The 2 Kanji before Sukesada are the title "Daijo". Kozuke Daijo would be the obvious choice; either the 2 Kanji for Kozuke are smushed together or the "Ko" got left out. Grey Quote
Pete Klein Posted April 6, 2007 Report Posted April 6, 2007 This is from Fujishiro Shinto Hen. I believe it is the mei you are looking for. Unfortunatley I had to crop it to allow it to be uploaded but the mei is as in the book. Quote
