    Hi, Stephan. I may be interested in this whole group. What are the shipping costs to San Francisco in the USA? Cheers, Kathleen

    Damn, I was just about to buy that Muramasa tanto... 🤣

    Recover well, Brian! Good vibes ordered, Kathleen

    Just wondering what the "shindig line" is ...

    Beautiful tanto! Congratulations!

    For wine, you use your Swiss army knife. Of course.

    I'm considering going, since I live here in San Francisco. I haven't left the house in 3 months, though, and I don't know if I'll feel any safer until I have a vaccine. ????

    Warrantso, The purpose is protection. Like deodorant. Only sharper. I think I'm getting corono-giddy...

    Nooooo PLEASE keep posting Malcolm. I am another ukiyo-e lover, and I find your posts delightful!

    Malcolm, that Chikanobu print is also one of my favorites. Some castles were known to use women from samurai families as guards. I think the women in the print, rather than fighting the fire, are guarding the evacuation from the castle.

    I like #2, far and away. Both the positive and negative spaces share a flow and a delicacy. In the others, the tree trunk is too heavy and clunky. #5 looks like someone took a bite out of it.
  13. Tigerinbamboo
    Ouch!
  14. Tigerinbamboo
    Very nice!
  15. Tigerinbamboo
    Thank you! ????

    Stupid question about shinsa... When you send in your sword, do you send any old papers or provenance or other info, or just the sword/saya/koshirae? Humbly,
  17. Tigerinbamboo
    Very pretty tanto and koshirae ????

    Some of us lurking around here are still astoundingly ignorant (speaking for myself) and still ask stupid questions, even after buying many books and reading them, and trying to sweat out translations ourselves. Nihonto are a vast subject, and I am eternally grateful for people answering my questions without making me feel dumber than I do. Stupid questions don't always come from laziness. Just sayin'

    Maybe looked like this?

    No shields, just intermittently oblivious to the rest of the world ????I don't know why the link was unstable. I usually use Chrome. When I was in Tokyo last summer, there were a couple of places near the city advertising tours of traditional swordworking forges, with the chance to make your own sword or commission one, depending on how much time you had.

    I almost went, but backed out at the last minute. With the epidemic, it just seemed like an unnecessary risk to travel. Assuming the virus is better controlled or gone, there should be much better attendance next year.

    Thank you, Grey. ????

    Will there be a shinsa at the sword show in Atlanta this coming weekend? I dont see any mention of it on the flyer, but there's not a lot of info there. ????‍♀️
