They aren't all bad, Bruise. I always like Rosemary Clone-y . Great voice and personality. Sorry she's gone. :)

We have so much.
 
If you figure out what it says, please be discrete.
some of it is religious and i dont want to offend the dead.
ok ?
here is the menkyu, the nakago meishi is on the left.

Oh i just noticed something, the blade is actually 93.5 cm long....
 
Having trouble reading it due to character size and the stamp.

Might be easier to translate from a photo of the nakago directly, do you have any?
 
Nice blade Danny! looks like you could chop an elephants legs off with it! What sort of Hamon & Hada has it? Photo would be nice to illustrate if possible.

Cheers,
Spiral
 
it has a choji-gata hamon, but it is not as bright as the old sword.
perhaps a light polish is in order.
i have the nakago translated already.
i will give you the jist of it:
" this sword was commissioned as a temple sword, an offering to the gods to guard the descendants of a dying man."
The rest is prayer, names and dates of the swords' creation.

this is not unusual for an odachi.
It just happened to fall into the hands of a MA student who studies an art that employs really big swords, as well as small ones.
 
Very nice, I can understand your wish for privacy.

But may I ask who the Tosho was?
