    Morning all, Two questions please: 1: In the case of a plain Iron Marugata Tsuba with both Kogai Hitsu - ana and Kodzuka Hitsu - ana, how do you decide front and back? 2: What is the purpose of the Soritsuno hook on a Saya? Best regards Malcolm

    Hi Stefan, Great to hear that you are making a study of Nihonto. I agree with Sergio, use a Bokuto (Wooden sword) for your Budo practice. Most students wreck their first Mogito/Iai-to. A Bokuto is more forgiving, better a few blisters than lost fingers, or even worse a damaged blade..... Gambatte!!! Malcolm

    Good Morning all. The Art Newspaper has collated World Fine Art auction prices realised for over 20 years and every year publishes the previous year results together with a retrospective. http://www.theartnewspaper.com/ I regard Nihonto as Fine Art BTW Malcolm

    Evening all, The base element of the Tsuba looks very much like Tenpo style with the "Hot stamped" characters Ten, Kaze and possibly Kotobuki. Thanks for a great Forum chaps. Malcolm

    Morning all, If it truly says Okinawa Hilton, why not try Hotel key fob, Hotel room Door escutcheon plate for lock, or Hikite for fusuma door...??? As it has a design on both sides, my last two thoughts are a bit thin, so I'll say Key Fob. Just a thought. Malcolm
