Hi Sorry to pick up such an old thread , but just wanted to add my thoughts! My little fetish is Yari Saya I have a few now , and a large majority of them have a small copper loop a bit like a cotterpin . These allowed the Saya to hang from the do- gane by a small chain . regards Steve

Very pleased with my Christmas present to myself! ... Kabuki Actor Ōtani Oniji III as Yakko Edobei in the Play The Colored Reins of a Loving Wife (Koi nyōbō somewake tazuna) 6th month, 1794. The actor Otani Oniji II is captured here in the role of Yakko Edobe. A yakko is a manservant often used by samurai to perform violent deeds. Very accurate depiction of the famous print ..

Hi Everyone we have just opened a new website based in the UK. We have currently split it into 4 sections , Samurai , covering samurai items armour , swords , yari etc. Your Japanese home , imperial Japan consisting of military swords and Books ( approx 300 ) this is a completely new direction for me after 40 years in the construction industry, so we are learning all the time .... we are acutely aware of the need to improve our photographic skills and it is something I am currently looking at. Along with how to better photograph swords ! A skill in itself after watching Rays posts !
