    Stephen there is a good paper that inhibits rust and should cause no metal discolouration, as there is no nickel. Otherwise a good non-waxed butchers paper with a desiccant added like silica jel packs.

    Yes, that show really looks like a bunch of pricks working at customs and immigration. Some reason in cases, but, they act very arrogantly. John

    I think it is saying, and I might be reading it wrong, that Tadatsugu is of an Umetada group or faction of the Kyoto Shoami school. John
  16. John A Stuart
    OK. It is just talking about Umetada group and the Kyoto Shoami school, the iron quality and the 'niku' of the mimi. I think. John

    It could be. I wonder at the sinchu composition as compared to earliest Edo period. It has a different appearance. John

    This tsuba by Nagayoshi may be pre Azuchi-Momyama by some decades. This Kyoto tsubako dates 1550 to 1600, so could preceed it or be smack in the middle of it. John
