    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!

    Thats a great collection Joe! I am also a big fan of mokume, especialy from Sado and Kishu (Sankei) Sado Toshisada 7,5 x 7,4 x 0,4cm Kishu Sankei 2 tanto sized and a big one regards,

    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.

    Nearly the same happened to me quite some time ago with a little yari i bought from Grey Doffin. At first they wanted me to prove that the yari was NOT important! Bunch of clowns sometimes...

    It is called "Mesh Stick Tea" https://www.amazon.de/Mesh-Gr%C3%BCner-Tee-Green-Sticks/dp/B00RD87XD4/ref=sr_1_12?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1L9Z51WCOEC69&keywords=mesh+stick+tea&qid=1559769939&s=gateway&sprefix=mesh+stick+%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-12 Looked suspicious at first, but is quite good actually. The Yunomi was made by a german potter. regards,
  14. Teimei
    Well, you asked for it... P.S.: The tea and the yunomi are both of dubious origin.

    Hi Chris, it´s quite normal that stuff enters a black hole after arriving at the airport frankfurt. Normally it takes 1 week till another update pops up. The longest gap (for me) was 6 weeks though... Try DHL Tracking, they transport all the items that go through customs in germany. I hope you get your tsuba quickly! regards,

    Nice piece! Kaga smith´s were quite reknown for polearms.

    Eiji Yoshikawa, who also wrote "Taiko". If you like manga, try "Vagabond" by Takehiko Inoue. regards,

    I don´t have the slightest clue what it is, but now i want one .

    Gorgeous set Pete! regards,

    Thanks Jeremiah! The last Stephen King book i read was "Sleeping Beauties", which was a more than unpleasent experience.

    Nice one Chris !

    Hi folks, the title pretty much says it all... show what you got for christmas/Chanukka/Kwanzaa. It does not matter if it´s a nihonto, tosogu or even yakimono . I got myself a nice pair of mokume tsuba by Sankei: regards,
  24. Teimei
    I accepted this as a fact BEFORE I started studying and looking for kodugu. After some experience, I think we can put this one to bed. Gimei can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever. Raise hand if you got the movie reference.
