    Hi, There are some who worked in pure masame during the Shinshinto era, such Gassan Sadakazu or Saito Kiyondo for example. However Masame does not lead towards Mino.

    Hi, Quick learning From now on, i will not help for translation if an effort is not made before.

    Hi, I would see what utilised Hinin, Eta, and basic peasants. The Sakoku is not concerned. Man does not idealise too much Japanese people, as, in this regard (and others), they are good, less good and bad artisans. About nihon-tô, all the tsuba made to fit kazu-uchi mono are far from chef d'oeuvre.

    Very interesting, but i would not be so categorical. If you look at that with an anthropological point of view, it could be different. Effectively when man has the choice between two things (particularly if they are at the same price), inevitably, he will choose the best. Japanese are like all of others, they made nice and bad things (Meiji tourists objects for example)

    Hi, Thanks Guido, Looking at the stars before an after the name, it seems this "polisher" believes it is a real Masamune, on this site there is also a Kozuke Sukesada which let me a little bit dubious.

    Hi, A good question for Guido, This chinese polisher shows a "Masamune" on his website, as i don't read chinese i wonder if he said having polished it. http://www.dixinzhai.com/repair_show.asp?newsid=51

    Hi, Ok, Ok, if you come across a Shingen tsuba without iron, please don't forget to let me know.
  14. Jacques
    Hi, Brian, maybe i'm wrong but it seems we can see iron just around the sekigane, If i'm right that means that all Shingen tsuba are made on a iron base. That could be an important kantei point.

    Hi, Ford, how do you detect a sanmai Tsuba? However you can be right but the museum experts have an advantage, They have the tsuba and i think they know that they say.

    Hi, I'm unsure but maybe the character after Sane 真 is Masa 了

    Hi, According the description made by the museum this tsuba is made with a thin iron core. http://www.fieldmuseum.org/research_Col ... com10.html

    Hi, Some nice pieces here

    Hi, Look where is the hamon on the first (left) unpolished picture and where it can be on the colored one, if you enlarge the unpolished picture, you will see the tani of the hamon pretty close to the hasaki, it is not the case on the polished one.
  22. Jacques
    Hi, It seems to me that the sword before the polish and the one after are not the same.
  23. Jacques
    Hi, Are my eyes too old, or something is odd here?
  24. Jacques
