Dear Geraint Thank you so much for the good news.Much appreciated. Kind rgds Philip

Case is magnetic so probably not original. All help appreciated.

Hi Evan Happy to hear it arrived safe and sound and that you like it. Nice tokkuri here if you like Aiko. I'll get some buttons made. http://ishizuchicorp.co.jp/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/16-17.jpg

The thing that's nice about contemporary pieces is you can experience it first hand before it's been classified or 'revisited' given a retrospective etc. The shipwreck style of contemporary Karatsu for example although you could say it's inspiration is historical.

M8 you've got a thing about ridges. Better start collecting kukri! Nice one!

Evan that is really a nice guinomi! Well done, great catch. Apologies for such a late comment.

Thanks John. Good summary. Self portrait Private Collection

Here's Kawakita Handeishi's hanko.

That's lovely. Great find.

Hello Curran Have you tried Robert Yellin's e-yakimono site? Lots of info about the styles and regions there.

Thanks for the link, Henry. Yes that's the place. Found some nice oribe tea cups there. And these plates around the turn of the 20th c. Makes me think if these are 1915 or so the Kawakita Hadeishi piece should be earlier- not that it matters.
