I am sorry and did not know this Grey. If you want to contact Brian and ask him to delete this thread I am not going to say a word. I had no idea this was ‘stolen’ and only wanted to ask what this was.

So I found a free download of the Nihon Toko Jiten (Koto and Shinto). I hope I am not sharing anything ‘wrong’. However, it doesn’t seem to match an English index I have or some of the sample pages of the books I can locate on-line. Is this an earlier version or something else? https://archive.org/details/nihon-toko-jiten

Papers should be a start of your research journey, not the end. They are a very educated opinion, but there is so much more to learn depending on what they say or don’t say.

Thank you Moriyama-san. Generous with you translation skills as always. Also, thank you Piers.

If someone has a few moments, may I please have the translation of the ‘art name’ for this chashaku? Pics of the inside of the storage box and storage tube attached. Thank you.

Source of highest grade uchiko in Europe?
Mark S. replied to Lewis B's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Uchiko from Robert Benson is of the highest quality. The uchiko is already processed. It just takes a day to put the ball together… -

This will be my first time attending the Orlando show. Looking forward to it! -
Today’s dumb question. When I click on Dealer Showcase, I used to see each individual dealer and then be able to go to that dealer. Now I see just a running list of posts with the dealers all mixed together. Did I accidentally change a setting?

He took the time to reach out to me with some kind words when I needed them most. Seemed like a warm, genuine person. Such a shame… I wish his wife and family Peace in the days ahead.

When someone has a chance, let’s hear some thoughts on the show. I was close to coming this year, but some things came up and I had to defer.

My initial reaction is that the Kane kanji with the 5 lower ‘strokes’ seems a bit ‘odd’. It is usually 4 strokes… but I am far from an expert in this area.
