Saw this listing on e-sword.jp Decent wakizashi form the late muromachi but I saw this noticable discoloration on the hamon. Is it form over polishing or something else https://www.e-sword....isashi/2410-2040.htm

Whilst traveling in Japan, I got this nice edo period tsuba from a souvenir shop in Kanazawa, Japan. Not sure what type of style or what it is depicting all I know it is a openwork tsuba. Any information is appreciated

Update: I have decided not to get the sword mainly due to the lack of budget.

I saw 2 other sword one by shikkake and another by ryumon so I'm still deciding

I just saw the sword in person. I agree, the pictures don't do the sword justice. I would put up pictures but they exceed the max file size for posting and I could not get a clear enough picture for the jigane

https://www.aoijapan...th-nbthk-juyo-token/ Looking at this piece I went down a rabbithole about awataguchi swords and smiths. Though I maybe new to this hobby I know that this is definitely a rare and value piece in any collector's collection. I'm currently in Japan to see the sword in person but i have 2 questions. First, should I go for it? Second, how rare are awataguchi swords in the market.
