Just a simple myochin piece, but with a certain feel to it.

Just had to reset my password, works fine now! 😎

I Have 2 Swords Stuck In Japan...
Teimei replied to jt nesbitt's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Also received a tsuba today via EMS, that was shipped on the 2nd of july. regards, -
Hi folks, title says it all. Most of the examples i saw for sale are in pretty bad condition, because of extensive use over a long period of time. Papers would be nice, but not necessary. Some examples: regards, P.S.: Bonus round! If you own the tsuba (or know the owner) of the tsuba that was sold by Grey Doffin AND you want to sell contact me anytime! https://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com/store/holbrook-tsuba/h181-teimei

I own the same pair of scissors, ridiculously sharp. regards, -
Hi Roger, the theme of your tsuba is the Mon of the Honda family. I have a quite similar early owari piece. The condition of your tsuba is not the best, but i like the rendition of it!

After 2 visits in person and a few angry phonecalls i could pick it up (after i paid the taxes of course). Took them 4 days. They told me it was checked by an "expert" of the ministry of culture, but the package was sealed and untouched . It probably never left the building. Long story short... stay calm and friendly and only talk directly with the chief of customs.
