About this issue, I was told the same thing Tom said above that all work on the books was stopped because of his heart attack a few years ago.

The closing price of $280 sounds reasonable to me... I really cannot see any detail in the photos (this is likely a good thing). LOL

Hello Mark S., Normally don't do this but you sent a PM as Mr Kunio Izuka was my Japanese sword teacher as being a member of the New York Token Kai. I looked up examples of the 1st generation Omi no Kami Hojoji Tachibana Masahiro work and found a few examples that match very well with your sword's signature. I am looking at them on page 185 of SHINTO-MEIKAN by Markus Sesko. This sword I think would be worth sending it to shinsa.

Thanks everyone, I sold two things during the first week of the business inventory liquidation sale. I am open to offers on the two remaining items as well as these items need to be sold. Because I am listing these items at the price, or below what I paid for them I need to add the cost of PayPal fee and shipping. Let me know if you have any questions. Please contact me via primate message or via email at info@raindragonfinearts.com. Thank you.
