lonely panet

so it reads CHOSHU JU MASA ?

It has a bizen style nakago and a strong sakizori. So going to suggest sue koto bizen katate-uchi

And the saya matches

You got it all in one post

go for it, just a seki-to. no one cares about seki-to. but what if it wasnt a seki-to, what if it was a aoe tachi. and some idiot told you the same thing?? what then?

thanks, i assume due to nothing in my books that this smith is a off shoot of the Izumi no Kami Kunisada school?

Hi guys. I throw myself humbly at your mercy. I got no idea but for the life of me iv sent that mei before Please help

Fake junks sorry

PEAPLE LOVE TO HOPE

It must be the outline of the nakago ana from the fuchi pressing an outline into the wood then

Im dyslexic so i apologise for what AI and spell check let slip past. i have a word disability. But still understand and know the difference between marketing vs masterpieces by skilled craftsmen. But if you lend me your rollex or rolex's, it could have the magic to heal my affection

Its what we call a fake-to. A copy of a nihon-to

is that shims on the mune and ha of the nakago??

Has markus seskos email changed?? Not getting a reply for a big book order

Stll, Its abit of a fairy tale. Completely impractical. But the motivation was a western sence of romance, was it not?. Wasn't it first suggested in a newsletter/paper in the 60s/70. Its not like the Japanese families where roaming the world searching for lost part of them selves. "Important cultural assets not included in that sweeping statement" And considering that 90% of the Japanese population are not interested in nihonto and then divide that by families that can trace their families heritage to the samurai class " suggested figures are 15%". THEN who survived the war. Its very very small area of achievement or even wanting the sword back. So fairy tale

The tsuka imho has been modified to fit the blade and re bound

No that fairly tale about returning the old family sword.

and the sword??

you can not stupidly compare a mass market "rolex" watch to a such nihonto. i own neither but i can clearly see the differance between them

Looks like resin imho. The soles of the feet look cast not cut. But i known nothing about this stuff

Isnt the white paper from the NPO??

Manchuria aka manchuko occupational sword. Appears very strongly a original piece

Price i getting up there. Dont forget your needing to add 10% paypal and 10% winning fees and there other s**t taxes

It could be any number of smiths or schools. I dont see fuyohiro as he worked in soshu and soden bizen. No nothing about kaga.
