Dear all I am offering a nice fuchi and kashira set. As common with Higo, the fuchi and kashira are not from the same maker. The kashira is a very typical Higo kashira with the design of the yama-michi (the mountain path) with waves. The fuchi is a high quality plain nanako which was most likely made by a machibori craftsmen. Both are made from pure shakudo and go perfectly together. Dimensions: Kashira: 3.25 cm x 1.62 cm x 1.17 cm (height) Fuchi: 3.98 cm x 2.35 cm x 1.06 cm Nakago-ana: 2.75 cm x 0.73 cm Asking price: NEW EUR 290.00 NEW (individual prices would be EUR 250.00 for the kashira and EUR 90.00 for the fuchi) plus shipping costs Best Chris

Dear all I would like to sell a pair of suneate that came together with (but not belonging to) an armor many years ago from a French auction. I have always kept these intending to use them as part of an akazone yoroi. Now I have shifted my main focus away from armor I would like to sell them.

Dear all I would like to part with a very beautiful little kozuka. The pictures will only give a first impression of the design and age. It looks much nicer in hand! Please be aware of the rare dimensions of this piece which will very well fit on a Momoyama or earliest Edo period Tensho koshirae but will likely be too small for later koshirae. The piece comes without NBTHK papers but is either Ko Kinko or Ko Gotō in my opinion. The shakudo has a deep black patina with the gilding on the yanone being almost intact. There are some small damages which is normal due to its age. The nanako is still intact at the rim and around the arrow. Dimensions: Length: 9.57 cm Width: 1.34 cm Height: 0.47 cm Asking price: WITHDRAWN Shipping costs are: EUR 6.19 Germany EUR 14.49 EU EUR 19.49 UK EUR 26.49 US/Worldwide PayPal payments (Friends&Family or plus PayPal fees) possible!

Dear all I would like to part with a small but very well made item: a fuchi signed by Shoami Masanori who was (together with a second generation) a very important master of the Kyo Shoami group. What looks to be rather simple at the first sight becomes more and more fascinating when taking a closer look (and that is what Japanese Art is all about or is it not ;)?): the fuchi is decorated with kind of shogi (氏) elements highlighted with gold. What appears to be scratches are actually leaves which are carved in kebori into the iron between the shogi elements. A very beautiful and balanced design which witnesses great craftsmanship! Length: 39.8 mm Width: 24.0 mm Height: 9.3 mm Nakago-ana: 26.6 mm (max) x 8.3 mm (max) There is no kashira but the fuchi would go very well with a horn kashira and could be used for mounting a tensho koshirae. Asking price: EUR 90.00 plus shipping costs Kind regards Chris

Seems that these are not so much sought after - final price drop to EUR 50 plus shipping!
