Thxs @SteveM

Anyone understand what is being writen here :)? Thxs

Is this a Koshi-hi or just a Bo-Hi? Thxs

Thxs a lot Dale! Let me see where i can buy that book

Anyone has a source/pic of the back of this Yokoya tsuba? https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/16021/lot/50/ Thxs!

@tom, indeed looks like hard to say if it really comes from his hand ..Do you have any pics from your blade ? Dave

We're in Belgium here and a local Japanese man is offering this piece. I told my friend he can probably get something better or at least mounted for that money...let's wait and see.. Thxs for the help here !! Dave

When reading Mr. Stein's site and the links Carlo provided , i'm finding 2 different names for the person : 1. Chounsai Emura 2. Shigetaro Emura Are those both the same person ? Dave

Waaw thxs a ton man !! Dave

The Mei trasslation was already a big help. Thxs a lot !! The price they are asking is around 2500 euro or 3400 usd. Is that a reasonable price for a piece like this ? As I read on Mr. Stein's site, some of his students also used the same signature so i believe it's really hard to be sure Chounsai Emura made the sword ? Thxs, Dave

A friend is offered this shirasaya and he asked me if i could post it here to get some insiders comments on it Thxs !

@Guido I'm following the discussion from the sideline but i'm enjoying it and learned a whole lot more Thxs to everyone (not that you should stop discussing now..) ! Dave

@Nagamki Got it..in fact I have this fuchi here for several years and wasn't interested in the mei untill i found this board But you're right, it's about the art, not the signature in the first place. Thxs! Dave

They always told me i'm to positive So the signature here on this fuchi doesn't really belong to this artisit ? I'n a newbie in the field.. Dave

@ Rudolf, you're my hero Just curious where on earth you gathered all of that information .. Thxs again ! Dave
