  18. Thank you Stephen and Brian to make me know that all NBM members not have to be Microsoft addicts Thank you Currran for your marvelous exemple too. In fact I found a daisho pair on the Web with such Hitsu Ana mentioned as Kyo Sukashi... Was it fashionbable to have such Tsuba at a time, was it for a spectific family?
