KANESADA 兼定 HA WAKIZASHI

                                                                                                                    This is a wakizashi attributed to Kanesada.

      This is the Origami that accompanied the wakizashi. On the left is the cover sheet that says  鑑定小札 Kantei Ko Fuda , the middle picture shows the kantei with stamp and says Mumei Nari Seki Kanesada. The picture on the right is the seal on the reverse of the origami, it identifies Honami Koho as the appraiser.

                                                                                                           MORIMITSU  盛光  WAKIZASHI

              This wakisashi exhibits the features of a typical Bizento. The signature is Morimitsu, however I believe it may be a false signature (gimei). I can not find one similar but, if anyone can let me know.
