Luc, I don't know if I can make it on Sunday, because we have a training camp this weekend. But I'll try to attend from Monday to Wednesday if possible. -

New Private Samurai - Museum In Berlin
uwe replied to tom's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
I had the opportunity (together with some other enthusiasts), to help arranging and displaying most of the Katchu exhibits. Believe me, it will be worth several trips to Berlin..... -
Well done Wayne It's a keeper, if the mei is legit...
-
Hi Jiri, forgot to mention that the translation is right. There is an Myochin Yoshisuke listed mid Edo, lived in Kyoto!
-
Karasu tengu kabuto (a creature, half man, half crow). Several of this kabuto, in different qualities, are around. This one looks nice, though. A famos piece, as part of a complete armor, is currently located in the Barbier-Mueller collection. It is late Edo period, around 1854. Allegedly signet, Munekiyo/Ryūsuiken.
-
Currently no space for another armor Robert. But if you had a spare red sangu for sale, I would definitely jump in
-
Jean, I don't like Facebook! May I have the details also?
-
Perhaps 辞 (ji)? Just a guess...
-
Struggling for a while with this. Thanks guys. Ippasai Karyū, go of Bokusen?
-
Hi Thomas, I know this armor well. Not a 100% copy, but your interpretation looks cool in action
-
Agree about the koshimaki Dave....
-
Hi Ben, had a quick look at my iPhone. Both quite simple and damaged. The second one seems put together, whereas the first appears to be an lent armor (okashi gusoku).
-
Jay, your tsuba is signed "Echizen jū Kinai saku".
-
Missing some strokes for the "Yoshi" character Martin?! The second might well be "Tsugu"....
-
Good condition! Nice matching iron fittings! Real tsunagi! Last but not least, more than reasonable priced! I like it! But I'm the armor guy here, so what do I know.....
-
I think it reads "Jōshū"!
-
Seems to bear a Christian motive....?!
-
Well done ✅
-
Well, implied we have the Mei right, then only one "Munesada" left. According to an entry in the Shin Katchushi Meikan, he was active around the mid Edo period and lived in Edo. The Myochin genealogy (most faked genealogy ever...) mentioned him as an son of the famous "Muneakira". It is said that he worked for the Asano family and was also known for high quality iron tsuba!
-
There was indeed a "Shōmin" around 1879! However he used a different kanji (勝) for the first character....
-
It's true, I can attest. But in French.......(sooo hard to read for me) :-/
-
I assume, it is a late interpretation of an "torikubi no tachi" (bird neck tachi). Mei seems to be "Norimune"?!
-
Thanks Morita san! "Munesada" is possible. But then it should be "...Minbu..." instead of "...Shikibu..." don't you think?
-
My guess is, "Myochin Shikibu Ki no Munechika saku"!
