Hi Nigel,

 

That is a traditional type of ordinary Japanese Scissors usually used for sewing, not for bonsai.

Aaaah i love Japanese culture... even the simplest of their everyday objects are work of art (well it used to be anyways, cant say for now!).

Pretty scissor!

Thanks Moriyama san....

by the way sorry I will miss you in the next few weeks... I think I will be buried with work in Yokohama anyway... and then after that will be put to work by the family I am sure!!

 

Cheers!

Hi Ichi and Koichi,

 

This Nobumitsu is probably one of the best deal of the year (even if too expensive for me)

 

At this price you can get a signed Ko-bizen tachi with an almost ubu nakago.

 

Now, just a question, why at this bargain price no one has jumped on it

 

I can remember a signed ("-") Ichimonji blade on Aoi Art, not even papered, small nagasa, at 6 M yen which was sold in a day .

 

Sorry Milt for pirating your post

Hi Jean, and sorry Milt for hi-jacking your post.

 

Jean, that's the point. Why no one's jumping on to this Nobumitsu? The nagasa looks perfect, and even Tsuruta-san endorsing for a juyo candidate... beats me ?

 

P.S. At last Dai Token Ichi, I saw a signed Ichimoji going for 4M yen. It was a first time seeing this dealer so I passed by. Regreted for not going back to him.

Give back to Sencho what belongs to him

 

Sorry Sencho for Hi-jacking your post

 

PS: Milt is going to get confused on that one :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
