How About Wow!

[SwordGuyJoe]

Not much more to say on this above, just, WOW!  Look at the detail in that horimono.... I have seen some exceptional showa hormone from Shigetsugu and Shigemasa, but this is the best chisel work I have ever seen (regardless of the era).

Seeing exceptional Showa 'hormone' from a smith is a deed, Joe. You are entering the best in show competition LOL

That is really a WOW! I imagine the price is also a wow?

Wow indeed! Art on art huh. Makes me wonder, what kind of detailed method is used to clean/oil such horimono? One thing for sure it would be such a pleasure caring for it. Almost get the hormones going! Haha. Thank you for sharing Joe.

Given the date, the sword was likely made by Miyairi Akihira or maybe Akifusa. Just lovely! And in my defense, my phone has "learned" some terminology, so I don't have to correct it as frequently. My computer (where I made this post) on the other hand, is still a newbie.

I knew Joe, and why replying to you, I started to type "res..." missed a key and when I checked the post, it has written "restaurant" LoL
