Btw, anyone know the significance of frogs and a chameleon climbing on this dude?

Now even sure the bowl belongs to this. The auctioneers seem to think so...I have my doubts. Bowl is stuffed...dented to hell. Not really considering it, it's about $550 starting price. But it's large...about 50cm without bowl.
-
Hi all, Just curious. This is the inscription on the bowl held by a large bronze okimono coming up for sale this morning on a local auction. I am not even sure if the bowl is part of the statue, as it is separated. But was wondering if anyone can make out this inscription at all? Thanks in advance. Brian

Just another stupid attempt at spam. Byeeeee spammer

Well, I use photoshop. But if you Google "Free Image Resizers" you'll find hundreds of quick ones that do it online. Just reduce the dpi and reduce the height to less than 1500 pixels.
-
Why do you need 7meg, 4000 pixel high images to show details? That's a falacy. Resizing images is not difficult, and still shows everything. You aren't trying to post a billboard, and bear in mind the people on cell data. Here's a 7meg image of yours resized down to 200kb at 96dpi. Still plenty useful.

They usually post something random...leave it up for a little bit, then go back and edit their post to add links to a commercial site. I don't think they expect sales or clicks, but the various web spiders like Google pick up those links and bump them up in the search engines. I think it's all about SEO and they get paid to do this. But we're on top of it. This forum is heavily moderated and I chose this expensive software because of how many anti spam features it has.

You guys are a bit help. Feel free to send reports when you see these posts that are clearly leading to spam. Nowadays they pay humans to register and post this stuff, the anti-bot systems are good, so only humans get past it. This guy was from Romania.

Good catch Sam, you think like I do. I don't even have to look at the stats of these members to know they are about to edit their posts to add spam links. It becomes second nature. Gone.

I'm happy to host anything that people are willing to share. Thanks...done. -
If you'll let me host it here, I'll add it to the downloads section under member articles. Best place for it, and I don't have a file size limit there.

If you'll allow, would be great to post it here instead of needing to register on Academia. I know it's a simple process, but people tend to skip things that need signing up. Lovely article!

It's a woodworking tool. A Kiridashi.

I saw these on FB, and must say, I find them superb. They really are stunning. And some of the best pics I've seen showing all the fine details. Congrats on owning these Jason. Glad you shared them here.

Looks good, quite unique and nice. My eyes are giving in. Are they concentric circles or a spiral?

Use Isopropyl alcohol to remove old oil. Take your tsubaki oil or whatever oil you are using, and spray 2 or 3 spurts onto a soft clean tissue that is folded. Or a few drops. Wipe blade in one direction. Done. No visible drops should remain. Just a clean and ever so slightly oiled blade. That's all you need. I never apply the oil to the blade, just a little on tissue.

Best guy you could deal with.

Chinese fake, sorry. NEVER buy any "Japanese" Gunto sword with any flag or other crude engraving on the blade. It's a dead giveaway. Plus this doesn't conform to any of the Type 95 variants out there.
-
Yes.

Interesting find on jauce
Brian replied to Ilovekatana's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Not a Masamune. But on the other hand, it does look like a very nice blade. Not sure if the utsuri is fake or enhanced. But would be very interested to see what attribution it would get if it were unsigned/attributed. -
Francis, Have a go? It is fairly clear and you should be able to at least get half of it, I am sure we will fill in the rest. main NMB page has a decent list of the kanji required. Having a try is the best way to learn how to at least do partial translations.

NMB emails suddenly going into spam

I offered to do it, but had no response from the family. The offer is open though.

You waste your time here with these stupid spam registrations. Who do you think you're fooling? A lot of work to be able to post a spam link for 3 minutes. Bye....
