Okayama - visit Setouchi City IF (check beforehand) if they have the Yamatorige on display at that time of year. Also Ando Sword Shop in Okayama City. Nagoya - Atsuta Jingu has a brand new museum displaying many of the great swords that have been donated to the shrine over the centuries. Nagoya Castle. Sanmei Tokugawa Arts. Kyoto - not a lot of sword shops but as stated the whole town is a museum. Fushimi take the sake brewery tours. Osaka - Meirin Sangyo. Tokyo - Ginza has the highest concentration of high end sword shops, many of the same dealers will be at DTI. Robot restaurant. Traditional Dance Restaurant. Samurai Restaurant. Don't know if there is Yakata-bune this year. Temple of the 47 Ronin. Edo-Tokyo Museum. Eisei Bunko, check to see what is on exhibit. -
I vote wakizashi - for photos try the "dark room" trick - set it up in a completely dark room and then use the flash on your camera - surprising things are sometimes revealed... -t

I believe you're second tsuba does not feature the moon but rather a magatama. It is very roughly done but I think your theme is takaramono.

I'd like to chime in - Moises has been submitting blades for himself and on behalf of his clients to the NTHK shinsa for years. The shinsa team always includes at least one polisher. He has consistently been able to bring out the characteristics of the individual swords so they may be "read" by the shinsa team and he has enjoyed a high pass rate for his submissions accordingly. I have not once heard any negative comment on his polish by the team members. I have always tried to recommend only "fully trained" polishers publicly but I am more than happy to give my endorsement to Moises and his work. -tch -
How about some miniature tanegashima?

Thank you - do you have more pictures of the Matsuyama tsuba?

Got mine today! They look terrific! The fact these are collapsible means they are perfect for our monthly sword club meetings, for our annual Cherry Blossom Festival displays and for sword shows! So excited to show these to the membership on Sunday! Thank you Tobi

The label gives a date and a name - the other two look like poems about armour. I am sure if you are patient "nobody" will be able to translate for you... -t
