    I like the complete setup, esp the rabbit and the moon, one thing I like to point out to westerners, In Nippon they see a rabbit in the moon not a man.

    Javi, what everyone is pointing out in my mind is the sword does not look to be from Shinto era,and the dates dont run true, if true one of the best preserved nakago I've seen. I have a feeling it was added to a showa blade, just a gut feeling, some references read tenwa must be same as tenan, I have never run across that before. you might want to step back from this seller as he has told you each time your about to buy sword its sold, the one on Ebay did not sell, its enough red flags to go look elsewhere. IMHO

    I was trying to help broker this balde to a fellow board member who was looking for a Motte Namban-tetsu tsukuru blade, it was in need of too much work for a deal, look for it coming to Ebay soon.
