    Nicholas It's an honor Nicholas, thank's a lot! Its always difficult,to judge a blade on pictures for me.rather than seeing the blade in person.. But I know that where you live there are plenty of highly qualified swords experts, far superior to my modest knowledge, who would surely be happy to help you.... good luck!!!!!

    one more thing RAWA I've been working with Yasukuni shrine swords for over 35 years and was very fortunate to learn a great deal from the honorable Mr Han Bing siong, who possessed great experience I was always very grateful to him, and still remeber him with gratitude and respect!!! this ialso applies to my friendly contact with Kotani Yasunori san who was a a very polite, wonderful person and a great artist

    finally a real advive for you RAWA before you start collecting Japanese swords,I recommend buying books and reading them Then you'll know, that there are no dai saku swords by yasuhiro that were made at the Yasukuni jinja I don't want say anything moreabout that, as I've explained! Good Luck!

    Rawa Over the years, I've deveoped a more informed reaction to these swords, that is based more on facts, than on speculation
  16. Volker62
    what does this mean pappered blade? For me ,sorry it has a slightly derogatory connotation??? and in my opinion, that would be derogatory toward this sword.
  17. Volker62
    thank you Nicholas for me the term pappered blade has a strange aftertaste, which flows smewhatunfortuantely into this formulation?
  18. Volker62
    these yasukuni swords had such a high presige, that the Japanese Emperor was didvinely endowed with them!
  19. Volker62
    Please note that we the Gajin , were the first to have access to the Japanese sword and especially to the Japanese culture to this extent after WWII yasukuni shrine swords were a high quality product, (very expnsive) manufactered under strictspecifications and under the supervision of a appropriate experts in the spirit of the Japanese national pride of this time, in the spirit of Bushido.

    Rawa please keep in mind, that all swordsmith who were allowed to sign the" Yasu" were subjected to a rigorous selection process and had undergone serval years of training! To write about from a "pappered blade"(whatever this is?) made by a third rate Yasukuni smith is in my opinion inapprorriate, sorry!
  21. Volker62
    I would always buy a product from Aoi Art again and will probably do so again in the future. Have a nice weekend everyone!!!!
  22. Volker62
    I'd like to avoid making a generell assessment here. I haven't seen or heard of a Yasukunishrine sword in this type 3 mount yet. (after over 35 years of collecting) But that doesn't mean everything! a few in Kai Gunto over the years However, I've occasionally purchased from Aoi Art over the past few years and have been sttisfied with both, the service and the product.
