I'm blown away! Thanks so much for sharing this story.
Being the sentimental dude that I am, I'm really touched by the idea that you gave that broken blade a purpose again. That's indeed a wonderful thing that you've done!When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
It's the same when you are stupid.

I cleaned up the tang (nakago) of the sword, and sent a pic to a koryu group on facebook to which I belong.
They managed to read the full mei including the missing part, and quickly determined the following:
Miyoshi Nagamichi Kanbun Era Iwashiro Province
Miyoshi more like the name of the school or line of swordsmiths.

Further info:
The name belonged to two groups. One group from Oshu-Aizu, the other Mutsu. I have a feeling this is Miyoshi Denshiro of the Aizu group, later Miyoshi Toshiro, 3rd gen., sandai, Genroku period, who committed suicide and whose brother Miyoshi Masanaga was ordered to continue the line.Geezer and cariocarj01 like this.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

I see one serious flaw - it's going to a blue man instead of to a pink man!

That was the period of reconstruction after, Tokugawa, Ieyasu took over the government in 1603? Then the blade is from the era of Miyamoto, Musashi who died in 1645. Originally Posted by Bruno
