Well, as you know, they all copied the work of their predecessors, so most of the pieces show similarities with both earlier and later generations. But of course, some are inferior in quality, while others just speak to you. Ones at Eirakudo are very nice as well. @Dereks Menuki and all other mon(shishis) are solid gold.

Hi all, Since I had some time for photos today, I thought I’d share this one as well. A mitokoromono by Sokujo, the 8th-generation mainline Goto. According to the origami, the nanako ground was made by Teijo, the 9th generation. Enjoy!

@Ray Singer Nice one Ray! Can't get enough of Hotei. @Curran And Kojo and his father Joshin..Ashikaga vs Nobunaga...First 5 generations really went through a lot..And of course I read the article, twice

Actually, it’s very close to Oda Nobunaga’s set, made by Yūjō. If he knew, I’m sure it would annoy Hideyoshi as well. Or maybe not.

Thank you, Curran! I knew he didn’t get along with Ieyasu, but I wasn’t aware of the connection to Lone Wolf. I picked it up in Japan from someone well known, along with a Sokujo shishi set, just last week.

Hi all, Just like to share my recent acquisition, a unique Mitokoro-mono by the 5th generation mainline head of the Goto school, Tokujo. He was the eldest son of Kujo, born in 1549 and passed away in 1631. After serving Oda Nobunaga, he became the court chisel master for Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Exhibited at the Tokyo National Museum. Enjoy!

Hi, Can anyone help me figure out what it says? Seems like 2 kanji? If so, second one is ト perhaps? Thank you

@Dereks, here's a comparison with a 25cm tanto. Regarding the stamp, I'm working on it.

@Spartancrest Good old deities..(Hiten) @Steve Waszak I'm glad you liked it! @Curran Thanks! Loved your quiet lion comparison—really captures its presence. I’ll make sure it’s well cared for. I'll share some more details soon.

I’d appreciate it if someone could kindly double-check this. 清音 ?
