  1. I just picked up this kogatana signed banshu tegarayama fumoto fujiwara ujishige, im curious as to what generation it is, im thinking 2nd maybe 3rd. Whats yalls opinion?
  2. Shakudo will not naturally repatinate in oxygen. It is patinated through a chemical process involving a mixture called rokusho.
  3. Not if its only mild chili. B)
  4. Best to ask up front to keep yourself safe.
  5. was this guy considered part of the Buzen Chikushi ryokai?
  6. I have a Yamato daijo fujiwara masanori, that has a well cut sig, and all other traits suggest it being a ydfm, nakagojiri, yasurimei, etc are all correct, other people that looked at it thought it was legit. Took it to shinsa and they said it was from Kambun, Echizen Seki smith but failed the sig as gimei.
  7. So I am making custom fit, Black urushi lacqured boxes to hold some of my Goto school fittings in. I am going to makie a light dust of gold powder on the outside of each box. Anyways I was wondering what the opinion was on what color silk would best go with it? I was researching traditional dyes and came across the list of kinjiki used in the rank system for the Kuge class. I am trying to decide between [going from top left to right:] Ochre (Otan) ​Deep Purple (Kokimurasaki) Magenta (Akamurasaki) ​True Deep Red (Shinshu) Deep scarlet (Kokiake) or Light Scarlet (Asaiaka). Post the color you like best!
  8. I dont display mine, I keep them locked away. I do display a gunto but i wouldnt risk having something more valuable sitting out.
  9. Hah! Hah! I used to watch Kenshin when I was a kid! Anyways, I think its just a oddly reshaped kissaki. Everything else about it looks normal. It also looks like it was damaged near the Hamachi as well.
  10. I have a set of kodogu thats signed Fuji Joju (Kao), I havent heard of the Fuji school until now and was wondering about it, the kanji used for Fuji is the same as the To in goto, so I was wondering if there were any ties between the two.
  11. Hi, Im looking on information about the Fuji School of sword fitting makers. Any input is appreciated.
  12. Lol somebody must have REALLY loved beets. or whatever that is...
  13. GS didn't say anything about them either way, just that they will not accept a return on the item as per policy, and stopped responding to my emails.
  14. Sounds like we need to find someone in Japan who can set up local shell accounts and be a liazon for us gaijin on the boards.
  15. Seiyudo has told me their policy is no returns, they will not accept it back.
  16. So i took these menuki to the 2017 jssc token kai and submitted them to shinsa, and unfortunately they failed. The pink slip confirms they are cast, and so did many people i consulted with at the show. I am beyond irritated. I would have expected more from a store in the ginza district, especially one as well known as seiyudo.
  17. Any pics of the blade, curvature and hamon
  18. Grey, got any phoenix or incense related items in your FS stuff? How about any moroha or kanmuri otoshi tanto?
