  1. I meant the large vases with spirals. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
  2. The works look nothing like the ancient Jomon remnants I've seen though..

    Hamon, tobiyaki?

    Of course! faceslap.

    Hamon, tobiyaki?

    I believe separate floating elements from the hamon are called yo and on the mune it's tobiyaki. But this is from memory, someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
  5. A tired or bad blade. There is no real guarantee of a blade coming out better than before in all instances. No telling what's beneath the surface.
  6. A cyclops? How unique.
  7. Where the items are top notch I scratch my head at some of the prices. Fun catalogue though. Thanks for sharing it here Big.
  8. And; nothing in particular. I don't see them pass by Aoi often, I had hoped it would be of interest.
  9. Not that I doubt anyone missed it, but more as a general FYI.. https://www.aoijapan.com/katana-mumeiden-mihara-masahiro-juyo-bijutsu/
  10. How generous to share these top dollar items. Everyone should be able to find enjoyment here.
  11. No, just based on the design, (and because there seem to be plenty of people who post here with obvious fakes. If the mei is gimei the work is still good (to me).
  12. The curvature seems odd, I don't think I've seen nihonto with so much curve in and near the kissaki. For what it's worth I have no real clue.
  13. Agreed with the above. Seems to be a great package!
  14. Great buy even without papers, clearly not a fake. The moon in the river and the whole design is very nice.
  15. And not too shabby a koshirae as well, isn't Stephan a dragon enthusiast?
  16. Well no papers, no studying yet. I think everyone will suggest buying a couple of books first.
  17. One could try and say sharp is a subjective term. Like beautiful.
  18. My condolences to his family, friends and acquaintances.
  19. Don't you just love that cute face!
  20. Also, Smith's signing forgeries would outnumber the one real guy and thus would show even more variation than one person, so wouldn't it be more logically inclined to assume one out of eight is gimei than the otherway around? Very cool thread Ed. Quality contribution!
  21. It only shows two small photos for me, on mobile.. a hair over 60, on the official limit for not being katana?
  22. If any, I would vote (guess), no. 7.
  23. Also, cause I didn't see it posted while scanning this topic. Keep an eye on the for sale section as for +-2000 USD you'll see better items pass weekly. And welcome, this is a good place to learn!
  24. That's awesome Jussi! Thank you kindly for the effort! I agree with most posted above. One correction though as the 4 pictures I added are on 2 pages in the book. The costs involved using Markus to get a professional translation wouldn't be too much, however I just became a father and honestly I don't have any income that I can currently spare on hobbies and the like, which is why I came here first. I can live without a translation but figured asking wouldn't hurt (the wallet).
  25. My apologies for the delay in adding the index pages. So busy lately it's a miracle I got to it. I'll add the correct photos in the right order in a bit. I need the computer to do it properly.
