nambo Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 Hello! Please help me identify this sword Thanks, Ilijah Quote
Veli Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 Yes, Hoshu Takada ju Moriiye, as Chris said. I'd like to point out that the Tokubetsu Kicho paper specifically states that this is a Shinto (i.e. not a Koto). Veli Quote
John A Stuart Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 A Bungo smith. 豊州高田住盛家 Hoshu Takada ju Moriiye I don't think this can be other than from the Takayama Takada group, Shinto period. I think Takayama is mentioned on the sayagaki. John Quote
cabowen Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 Nothing in the sayagaki about Takayama.... Quote
John A Stuart Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 I thought the left hand pic showed such, above the kao. Must be a name though. John Quote
