  1. And the sword in question
  2. So much for ChatGPT: Token Bijutsu 593.pdf
  3. It's a tsuba from a friend.
  4. Dear Jacques, Try to get a copyright from Paul R. Allman's "Visions within Visions". Read it. Read it again. Try to understand what is written. And then come back. You are a lot, but not an art critic.
  5. Okay, the tsuba got this feature. But it is very clone to Kaga zogen...
  6. I think it is Kaga zogan. Umetada looks different.
  7. Or you take this one: 中古パンフレット ≪パンフレット(図録)≫ パンフ)大刀剣市 2003 | Jauce Shopping Service | Yahoo Japan Auctions. eBay Japan
  8. If you want the ultimate answer: the english Token Bijutsu Nr. 28 page 26 - 29. Kanzan Token Kyoshitsu: Takanoha and Kesho-yasuri.
  9. From the DTI catalogue
  10. All you need to learn is how to avoid reflections. The rest is easy then.
  11. @ Lukrez First of all: Yamanaka did not write about swords as Art. Or at least not in the Newsletter. There are only a few articles about this subject. For instance Ogasawara Nobuo: 'Technologie, Schönheit und geistiger Hintergrund des japanischen Schwertes" ( Technology, beauty and spirituell background of the Japanese sword) And "Meito = Woran erkennen wir ein Meisterwerk?". Helge Eicken: "Annäherung an die Kunst des japanischen Schwertes" plus "Der Hamon als zeichnerisches Element". But those articles are not very helpful when it comes to the question why a Japanese sword is art. So, Paul Allman is way above those articles. The best you can find.
  12. Many of the questions were asked a long time ago. And sometimes you got a very good answer. I only have a small book by Paul R. Allman "Das Bild im Bilde - Die Natur der Schönheit und das japanische Schwert als eine der feinen Künste". Translated into german in 1981. So, somewhere must be the english original. The best explanation about why a japanases sword is High Art.
  13. Occam's razor: what is it? I created a dark spot with Photoshop to fool everybody Rai hada Sumi hada Tekkogane Shingane Choose wisely.
  14. You had the chance to handle the blade in Berlin.
