And where did you get the pants! Or were they part of it, I'd love me some of those (not pink percé, but looks great!).
-
Excellent pieces. Especially like the menuki, and es envy comes to might (mixed with hope). The red parts of the fuchi are especially nice,
-
I'm not an expert, especially not in gendaito, but during and for the war many swords were made that weren't 100% traditionally forged because of the high demand. I suppose you need to find out more about the smith and his works.

Fantastic and detailed post. Are you still living in the Netherlands (Amsterdam)? You must be a great teacher
-
I don't know what to say! Ignorance.

If anything, since time passes criteria will undoubtedly change, when of-course is a mystery. Perhaps in say a hundred years the post war products will receive their own set of categories. Maybe when for one reason or another the Meiji era ends..

Need Some Help With Mei Translation
Fuuten replied to Thierry BERNARD's topic in Translation Assistance
I can't help or correct you on the translation, but that's a very elegant (what i think is a) crane, however it also has the chic elongated neck of a swan. Any photo of the entire tsuba? (just for enjoyment). Lovely tsuba. -
Brainstorming: Gendai Project Online
Fuuten replied to Markus's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Hi Markus, Sounds like a great idea, and very collectively oriented. Do you know if Kickstarter has paypal as a way of payment? Last time i checked they didn't, and that's pretty much the only reason i haven't jumped on some starters. Edit: also it would be nice if this online part could be expanded to the entire history:) -
I'm not sure where i got the notion in the first place, but I thought the lacquer in bohi and the like was placed there because it would keep the rust away.. and because otherwise it would be a pain for someone to maintain and or polish over and over?
-
The item is already sold, i was just browsing through the section I thought about it being paint or makie lacquer work, but figured it would be too far fetched.

Good day, Has anyone ever seen this before? Looks like a gold filled horimono, but i don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Only on the nagako as attribution or something similiar.. > http://www.e-sword.jp/sale/2010/1010_4007syousai.htm
-
I keep getting an error, but its stated it might be maintenance.
-
Gorgeous tsuba. Requesting pic of other side
-
Awesome Thomas! Just awesome, nice mempo too:)

Good evening (for me), Joe. This is quite interesting and i think i recall a discussion about this before, and how it would technically (having a shallow enough hamon at the right place), to have it look original at the hamachi.. I'm not sure if i recall it correctly, but here my first thought seeing the shape was ubu, but what do i know?
-
I'm not experienced and surely not wise enough to comment on your casus. Its a real blade, perhaps mino (seems to fit). Not shortened, ubu, meaning original nagako. - edit see comment above me says suriage? Sure they could make it look like ubu but what is the give away (no file patterns)? -also there is quite alot of rust and shaping because of it, but couldn't that also happen with a ubu nagako? Nice blade! .. afterthought; whats the green blob on the nagako?
-
It must be such a great feeling wearing one of those full sets
-
Photo's please!
-
Ah thank you Peter!

Hello everyone, I strolled upon this tanto that has photo's of a old tokubetsu kicho paper and this one, anyone here who recognizes this paper?
-
Thank you for the correction
