    For want of another term; yes Malcolm. During Hanami there are cut branches from cherry trees with blossoms tied to posts etc. at temples and shops, now mostly silk as they don't degrade; maybe these are for that celebration. John

    Canton trade? Yes, no? John

    I was of the opinion that the Namban tsuba with design elements in the seppa-dai were mainland imports. Why? Because their swords did not, for the most part have seppa. John
