    No shadowing around the seppa dai always gives me a bad feeling. Also 50% of iron tsuba are waxed imho that just ruins the natural iron colour of the school too

    Its in the shape of early tsuba

    When you have a good reputation, then your work is in good demand. Its a problem through out all trades. Wait for good work or take a gamble and tryone with a short list" normally for a reason ".

    Well if you judge a school by how many smiths master smiths they produced, and how many of the works received juyo and above ranking. I would has a guess that the ko bizen school would take the mantle

    im going the complete opposite direction it appears cheap, nasty machine rolled backstrap thats been then shaped. the rest is just poor. blade has no threaded pommel or peg holding to togeather and the blade " if you call it that, just a flat piece of bar " isnt evan fitting to the handle correctly so most likely just glued in. its modern rubbish in my opinion. theres sooooo much of this crap comming out in the last 15 years its not funny. dont wast your money

    simular work from a sukesada but the mei is far apart,, but i think ill bit and try and buy it
  18. lonely panet
    i thought i would ask because apart for the blues/green papars the work does look like yokoyama bizen. i know its not a diamond in the rough, and that fact yokoyama isnt the hight of the the bizen tradition but thought it was worth a secand look. who else would make gunome like that?
