  1. Steve, Ichijo was the absolute master of his day, well maybe ever in iron or soft metal did not matter. Most people have only seen his students work which is still very good work but when he made it nothing but perfection, he was just following the rules in respect signing the way he did when he worked in iron.

  2. Hey Ron, Nope no papers yet, will be another 4 months my guess from last 4 years of papers ...jokingly I noted you can create human life and have their first-year party before we get a paper!! But is what it is! Fred
  3. What do you consider high end fittings?? I say this only as a perception of quality and construction of fittings is somewhat personal but also some are an absolute if saku. who are you looking for ???? my asking is only asked as I went through this 15 years ago .....and I love the place I ended at!!!! So not asking as a jerk or with any questions post your answer as your answer is NEVER wrong just wondering ! Fred Geyer
  4. Look at the Ebay site he has sold hundreds of the fake fittings, one more way to ruin a hobby for the new person everyone should look at what they are producing to educate yourself Fred Geyer
  5. John, do not note on many things, read a lot but this school it is a favorite 1. with Akasaka , first buy the Akasaka book then note the following, 2. shape of the seppa , look 1,2 then 3 then the rest 3. Seppa tagana ..the signature if not one 4. the angle of the Kogai Ana ..leaning to the right or not ??? 5. thickness of the mimi 6. the edges of the motif ...Akasaka did many fine edges, age adds corrosion 7. over all flow of the tsuba ... when you noted old , ones on the group understand this vague meaning of Tadamasa to Tadatoki with be nodding there head 8. look at as many Akasaka tsuba as you can even online you will start to see it 8. weight or maybe I should say density in hand being last good luck , great school to study ! Fred Geyer
  6. Peter, I believe there were 21Juyo pcs in the room swords and fittings best of the best if you drop a camera or anything away goes something people have spent their lives looking for and not to mention the costs with this , as James noted above just traveling with this stuff makes the owners nervous !!!! So thank you to the owners for bringing their prized items to the show for everyone to see and learn from as it was one of the BEST displays ever !! Fred Geyer
  7. ED , We have a company that is FDA/CDC and Niosh approved ....Indiana Face Mask "IFM" and I have shipped to the show 400 FDA class 2 surgical and 100 N95 masks per Fred's request to cover the new face mask requirements for the shows guests and table holders so he will have the required "REAL" masks at the show FREE for anyone coming in the show Fred Geyer
  8. At the San Francisco show coming up will be a OUTSTANDING display for study put on by the NBTHK-AB of Ichijo and Nagatsune fittings it will be the best display ever put on in the USA of there works I believe all of the Nagatsune are in his sketch book and the most of the Ichijo in the original boxes from Ichijo when he made them for the original buyer If you are a Kodogu person or just want to see the best of the best, come the the show and see the display as a grouping like this will not be put together again !!!!!!
