Henry, I think we must consider, that Nio guards are related to Buddhism, whereas Oni are part of the Shinto religion. Cool little dude, BTW
-
Unfortunately true, in many cases!

Hi Erez, my first comment was made based on the condition of the barrel and in no way meant to be insulting. Agree with Brian about the whole venture. Anyway, to loosen the bisen screw will be one of the crucial main points. The mei is hard to see. Maybe you can make it a bit more visible using talcum powder or "oblique light"? Good luck!

Hi Javier, nice "Nara" ressei men from the Edo period. "Haruta" school, as you probably know. Keep it away from direct light (except LED) and try to hold humidity between 45-60% (without extreme temperature jumps). Enjoy! Uwe

Malcolm, it's a shape called "tsure yamamichi". Sometimes seen on kaga armor's, but also on other styles.
-
I'm not the teppo guy and hope that the experts jump in. Hate to be the "party pooper" but I think you should forget this venture. Sry!
-
As a side note, the men would be worth the efforts!

Hi Mike, there are some knowledgeable restorers over there in Europe. For example, Dave Thatcher, Robert Soans, Zénon van Damme...etc. They can tell you about the costs for restoration. It is not that often, a quality Muromachi bowl appeared on the market (even if remounted). Everything depends on "your love" and your budget :-) Regards Uwe

Thanks Tom! That leaves me quite curious -

I`ll take a invitation for the vernissage Tom -
Seems to be "Izumi no Kami Kanehisa". But I'm afraid, that doesn't mean much Marius!

Berlin! -
Interesting and incredible nice symbiosis between traditional craftsmanship, modern technology and design. I think the price reflects more the idea then the actual value. PS: I've the feeling, that the tsuka of the katana seems a bit too short.....

A Chance For A Polishing Job In Europe?
uwe replied to vajo's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Hi Chris, I almost bet a box of "Augustiner" that these two cracks are Hagire. Anyway, I know Zénon quite well, if you have some problems to contact him. Although, for this blade, I would recommend S.Wuttke, situated in Berlin! -
I think it's definitely not a mon. Rather a stamp representing one or more kanji. Maybe a manufacturers brand?!
-
First thought it was a "Noren". But after Eric had a closer look, I agree with Dave and Eric. Nice Hata Rob!
-
Yes Eric, .....lucky day September Kaei seven (1854). Very late Edo
-
The mogami do seems to be "Myochin ki no Munekata saku". Late Edo! Struggling with right and middle row.....
-
Great examples folks. Seems we have some true artists in Europe! I know Zénon's work very well, still have some projects pending
-
Don't know if "Nagamichi" was affiliated with Kaga katchu-shi (the inome, you know...), but the kabuto is undoubtedly high end workmanship!

New Site Launch/ Facelift.... Please Take A Look
uwe replied to Nickupero's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Great looking side Nick, with nice stuff in stock. Well done! -
Rob, In Eric's first example, uketsutsu and gattari serving for fastening the cords. Instead of the agemaki no kan. On later armor's (as Malcolm already stated) the knot was used for adornment.....and preventing the ring to rattle
-
Nice little exhibition with some good armor's. Note the inside laced shikoro!
-
Ah, that's the reason why my old "kuro urushi nuri gusoku" appears brown instead!
-
Indeed, neither Fukuoka nor Edo!
