  1. Sad news indeed. Yes he was an excellent photographer, but he was a fine gentleman. The KTK will need to search far and wide to get someone worth his skill set. He will be missed by those who knew him.
  2. Sad news to learn that we lost a treasure. The comments above are well said. He will be remembered by those who crossed paths with him. Fond memories, shared, live on.
  3. I have found that foam soap and a soft clean toothbrush does the job well. As others have said the ito may fall apart. Be gentle, be patient or just live with it as is.
  4. Tremendous! Thank you so much!
  5. It looks like a Yari (spear) mounted as a tanto. The fittings look good.
  6. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your work and generosity are both excellent.
  7. Ford's Ginkgo is not a cast tsuba.
  8. Thank you! I enjoyed reading your treatise. There is a lot of good information there.
  9. Good set if you like Mino blades and want to learn more.
  10. Make sure that it can measure a large healthy sword as well as a seppa. I found an accurate kitchen scale that measures metric as well as ounces and pounds.
  11. The character for Masa that looks like the letter E is often replaced with one that looks like Roman number one.
  12. Thank you for the clarification, Steve.
  13. Thanks for your continuing efforts. They are much appreciated. I hope that this summarizes where we are at currently: From the left line, top to bottom: 三つ胴切落物集女九兵衛(花押) Cut through three bodies... Right line seems to be a zodiac year, month, and day: 承應元年壬辰十二月拾八日梅津於尼崎 Shō’ō/Jō'ō 1 (1652) Dragon (Zodiac Branch) February (poetic name for month)
  14. Thank you to all who have contributed so far. I appreciate your efforts. Please keep at it.
