Kitsch is a legitimate art style and not necessarily trash by definition. Ikea to me is kitsch and has a simple beauty, Whirligigs', kitsch and very collectible. Louis Quinxe ormolu kitsch. These are not kitsch, they are garish. John

Thank you very much. Some excellent tsuba there. John -
Ho'omaika'i 'ana Bob. John

Tell us what swords were displayed please and more about which tsuba you picked and why. Curious minds want to know. John

The koshirae means little to me, however the sword needs some really good photos taken. Looks as fresh as a daisy in that one pic. John

I really like the academic atmosphere engendered by the build. Like an alchemist's laboratory. John -
