I asked the seller yesterday to add the "Zufu" to the picture gallery. He answered : "Nani no zufu ?" I wrote back today, that it's the paper with Oshigata of the Nakago and the upper part of the blade, and explanation etc. on the backside. Now I'm curious if he is able to show up the Zufu. Juyo paper and Zufu are always together with a Juyo blade. Eric

A "shiteisho" measures 42.5 x 30.5 cm. They are not numbered. This shiteisho dates from Heisei 4 (1992) and indicates the nagasa of 76.65 cm and a sori of 1.4 cm. In my eyes the paper is legit. What I'm missing in the picture gallery is the "zufu", where detailed description and oshigata of the blade are visible. It's the shodai Kunisuke. Eric

Hi Jeremy I have best experience with "The tools for tight handle" form USAGIYA Sword Shop. You will be surprised how easily the tsuka comes off. http://www.ksky.ne.jp./~sumie99/ Eric

Bob That Kiyomaro was assigned Juyo Token in October 2001. The catalogue dates from May 2002. At that time the Kiyomaro was the only item besides all the other 44 swords, all Juto, Tokuju and Bijutsuhin, without the accompanying ZUFU, due to the fact, that the papers were still in Japan. Katsumitsu pics. Eric

Jean You are right. It's a heavy wakizashi, 49.10 cm, JUTO. I have handled this sword when it was in old polish with "green paper". See the comment by the unforgettable Han Bing Siong in "Token Bijutsu Winter 1985" and the oshigata published in "Selected fine Japanese Swords from european Collections". Eric

Both Kiyomaro's were not sold. The highest price in this auction was Lot 30, a Kutani dish, 32,5 cm diam., late 17th c., £ 400'800 ($ 792,143). This in comparison with the results of three swords of the highest level ! BTW £ 54'000 are $ 106,789 Eric

Hi Bungo The carp was sold together with this box. Now it seems that there is no direct relation to the carp. Could you please translate the makers name ? Sorry for delayed answer. Regards Eric

Hi Koichi Many thanks for your accurate translation but I ask your help concerning image "Sayagaki 2" (must be download). There are Tanzans comments about Hizen Yukihiro Shodai. Looking forward and best regards Eric

Hi Darcy Thank you for the quick answer and the advice for better placement of the images. Tanzans comments are visible on image "Sayagaki 2" and it is exactly that I would like to have translated. Best regards Eric
