  1. Dear Jimi sam, your link does not work for me.
  2. It was used to illuminate in one direction like a flashlight. the interior was made to reflect light.
  3. This samurai is holding a lantern. According to the mon(s) depicted on his trousers, it can be one of the 47 ronins (chusingura).....!
  4. Thank you Dimitri, A tad more accurate will help.
  5. Dear all, if you can help me on this one, I will appreciate a lot. It is a sword made by KANENORI. I will need the full translation of that page. Thanks a lot for your active help
  6. John, Can you tell me in what book you have found this reference ?
  7. I found it in an old shirasaya. I sent it to a professional polisher and had a shirasaya made of wenge. Thank you John for the reference. It is not the same sword but it is the same signature I must have this page translated.
  8. I have one in store. Try to guess who is the sworsmith......! hint : he received the honor of being appointed a Teishitsu Gigeiin (Imperial Court Artisan).
  9. Can you translate this please?

       Besides the fact that the laquer color is very vivid, I have the feeling that those kanjis are not well written but it is just my opinion.

  10. The explanation given by Geraint tell everything. Yes, this yari is a real old one. I agree that it is from EDO era given the shape of the blade. Can you post pictures of the tantos ?
  11. Not genuine for me. Showa copy.
  12. Hello, I am going to take 12. The Red Guards of the Ii Family: Arms and Armor of the Hikone fief Hikone Castle Museum
