Sebuh

me too, was wondering what happened.

Got it! I thought the same, but thought to throw it out there. Use the site daily and love looking at new improvements Thanks for everything!

@Hoshi Sorry to budge in here, when your asking someone else for feedback. I was wondering if it'd be possible to add an area somewhere on an Artist's profile that can highlight their works average sale/sell price? sort of like stock prices? it could be a pretty good idea when looking how much smiths sell for at the Hozon, TH, and Juyo and beyond. Though I understand there are variables such as big names, only having Hozon and being hundreds of thousands. This is really just a rough outline of an idea, if this is something that intrests you I could try thinking more into it. Thanks,

Hi, thank you! I must have missed it somehow

Hi, sorry for resurrecting this thread. Does anyone know when the next Tokubetsu Juyo Shinsa is? I don’t recall seeing it posted anywhere? I know it is usually every two years or so. Thank you!

sold for 3,403,000 bit of a bidding battle towards the end now do I want to ask the question and rattle the snake. is it worth it?

honestly a fan of this blade, if it came up in a month or so i probably might have gone for it

Hoping for the best, any Sanjo works may well be considered Unicorns, and a zaimei? super valuable stuff. Wishing for the best outcome.

Hi Chris, check your inbox sent them there!

Got it guys, thank you! was expecting the Japanese to have some sort of ultra-anti decay formula for swords, oops! especially since I was of the belief most museums did not rotate swords often.

Is there a reason why Yamatorige is not always on display? I'm not familiar with the museum and their practices, but it is quite the popular sword. Would expect it to always be around regardless of display swaps?

Saw this in New York at Sothebys, was a delightful sight, only got one photo or so.

I'd stay away from anything non-papered, the choice is yours at the end of the day. But might as well get a papered item.

Amazing writeup Brett! I honestly had the same question wondering what happened with many of the Gyobutsu. Though I never did get to it, you are a very fine addition to our community with all these recent contributions! When I see one of your threads I know it's going to be good! keep it up!

Great work Chandler! thank you for sharing it with us here! Congratulations on the baby! very exciting! wish you the best!

amazing work Hoshi! I think you made Darcy very, very proud!

Gen Z rep has to budge in once in awhile Great idea, now imagine having one of those swords in your collection? these boys are dropping the ball.

oops I failed with uploading photos, here's the links. https://touken-ranbu.fandom.com/wiki/Aizen_Kunitoshi?file=Aizen.png https://touken-ranbu.fandom.com/wiki/Akashi_Kuniyuki - Kuniyuki looks stylish, wonder if he wore this in Kamakura times?

Hope you don't mind me budging in here Brett Touken Rabu is such a odd sight. I've followed a large amount of Nihonto based accounts on Twitter, and man. It really almost all revolves young women in Japan obsessed with, Awataguchi and Rai works depending on how handsome the game designers made them out to be. (Token Rabu also has a videogame adaption that is immensely popular, pretty sure Darcy wrote about this in his "Touken Girls" article. I'm afraid to admit I may know more about the characters than the actual swords.. but hey, those girls have very good photography skills when it comes to finding the source of their sword crush. (Yes they call it that) I'll attach some photos cause it is seriously funny, these girls really keep museums popped open and busy. And their community had put in major efforts to fundraise for sword restorations etc. Rai Kunitoshi looks a bit different.. then what I imagined.

Hurts being this generations outlier

got that same email

always nice when there's an update in this thread, thank you Lewis for the updates. Patiently waiting to see how this all turns out!

Was a bit too young in 2009 to enjoy this! thank you for the pdf!

second time you’ve caught my typos..
