Poll:- New collectors and ages of Nihonto enthusiasts
Jean replied to Brian's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
I started 36 years ago by a wakizashi (gimei) then went to aucton where I bought 2 wakizashis (a koto bitchu wakizashi and an O suriage toran-ba katana), kozuka and tsuba which went away in the raffle ..... Now I dont know what i shall do; probaly pass to other hobbies (perhaps buy from time to time a tsuba or kogatana) but before, my last move will be buy a juyo -

I cannot help but I sure buy it -
Thanks Shan for the info. I got both of them on Aoi Art. The first one years ago. They are quite thick and you have a shave with them. As my scan is not a fantastic one, I'll post the one from Aoi Art sent me (the second one I bought from Auction). Ted, the mei is on the blade itself, the inscription on the tang is to the Emperor/Japan glory

Sword Display

Mark, Thanks a lot for the picture. I was mislead because you wrote at first a "Senjuin Koto Katana" (Yamato), in fact, it was an Akasaka Senjuin Mino katana. If you can get a picture, it will be a pleasure. I seem to see some togari. -

An Invitation for Complaining

That was a booby trap, Joseph, that's what Reinhard meant by : As often, in most cases, when being carefull, Strangers write a better idioma than most natives. Reinhard English, as Carlo, Jacques are often flawless :D :D -

Thanks a lot Curran for the info, I did'nt want to bother you , John, n fact, I buy by impulse, I like the tsuru, but I also like the Kinko, the Ume or the Yoshiro. One of these I'll go for one like the vatar of Koichi san

If I have time, I shall post my small tsuba collection, about 13, very diverse (that's an understatement), I buy tsuba on impulse. :lol: :lol:

Thanks a lot John, I understand that, more or less, a Kyo Kinko kantei = a shoami Kantei for some tsuba (meaning: "by default")

Sword Display
Jean replied to Chishiki's topic in Sword Shows, Events, Community News and Legislation Issues
Fantastic blades. Is it possible to have one or to close up of the Senjuin sword.? It seems it has a very unusual hamon. -
Thanks a lot John forthe answer, here are two more, both fantastic in their own way. One is a kinko, the other one is a an incredible iron inlaid tsuba, is there any possibility to kantei them to a school, apart Kyo Kinko for the first one.
