  1. Hello gents, pics should be available here: 0https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sgdsatv7ynlmtr3/AABC1loxut_mI-WJO-XRAszfa?dl=0
  2. Thanks Joe, and you've been really helpful with me. Yes nice polish that allowed me to study its activities for long, making it hard to re-sheat everytime.
  3. Hello everyone, Back for sale, after reflexions and a lot of informations gathered, thanks to the members here, you guys are great, and most of all, a more correct description than i did previously. https://youtu.be/hUbuKztfxdc https://youtu.be/quziNtNnhL0 https://www.aoijapan.net/katana-minamoto-yoshichika-saku-kore/ I've bought this sword a few years ago from Aoi Japan in an auction, the price listed on the link is cheaper than what i've paid, i'm asking SOLD.
  4. In fact, i was more concerned about fitting than finding the koshirae but thanks to your advices, it might not be as difficult as i tought. What about fitting a koshirae from a tsunagi made from the blade? Is it something that can be done?
  5. I've been there already thanks, the site is a goldmine. Obviously, it is quite hard to determine what kind of koshirae would be the most appropriate, as the kikusui-to is more "navy-like", but in the other hand, the nidai Minamoto Yoshichika are mostly mounted in shin gunto, for the few pictures i have been able to find. You both argued very interestingly, and i have to say it's thrilling to do this search and having your point of view. I'll guess it will end up like that for me too, but it's really too bad...
  6. Yes i really miss the mounts, and it seems that finding koshirae to match is impossible,especially for the saya... Thanks for your encouragements!
  7. Thanks for your input David, i really appreciate that "background precision" of the history of this blade, it makes me even more curious. BTW, as you mention the navy, is there a particular type of koshirae that could be related to, or suits this blade?
  8. Thanks Joe i feel better now knowing than expecting.
  9. Hello I take the opportunity of the bug that cancelled my previous thread to re-post in this section, seems more appropriate to me at the moment, since i have been lacking knowledge about the kikusui-to, so i am here to gather informations. https://youtu.be/hUbuKztfxdc https://youtu.be/quziNtNnhL0 https://www.aoijapan.net/katana-minamoto-yoshichika-saku-kore/ I have been in contact with mr Tsuruta, who send me this link but the translation is not clear to me especially the part " chrysanthemum swords", so could someone please give me the main idea about this chapter? http://ohmura-study.net/732.html So now, i am trying to figure if the kikusui-to is one from the Minatogawa jinja produced sword during showa, or one like these mentioned in this thread : http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/10709-kikusui-mon/ Can someone please confirm whether or not the nidai Minamoto Yoshichika worked at the Minatogawa jinja? Do you remember the first time you've entered through the nihonto's world door? That's where i am, so please forgive my ignorance, and the lot of question i have. If you have any information to add about the sword the smith etc.. i'll be glad to hear it, thanks. Julien.
