Hello Gents, i was watching a auction on a wakizashi by Soshu Masahiro on komonjo ebay site, Item number:140860789618 i wondered if anyone else seen it? the hamon on the piece looked to be not confined to the Ha but over the whole blade, is this a usual trait of this smith or school or a 1 of, i myself think it would look amazing in polish. any information on this or other blades like it is greatly apprieciated.

Hello all. Is anyone else getting problems with the link. All i get is a page of Mon. Even through Google. -
Thanks Joe

hello all, i wonder if someone could help identify the type of hamon this represents please, Peter
-
Thank you Jean as usual thorough. i will do a little more reading on the subject , i am in Ireland as you say but in the North which falls under UK import laws, who i had dealings with when i brought my Tsunatoshi katana in , and they where kind enough to charge another £175 on top of my purchase price anyway, venting done, thanks for the information, and sorry Marius for hijacking your thread, Peter

I will do thanks again George.

Thanks Chris and George, I went through all 14 pages of Masahiro last night i will go through the Hiromasa later and hopefully find our man. Maybe the swordsmith was feeling mischievious on that day . Signed the tang then put a ruddy big hole through it to give us something to do in our spare time good research blade Peter

Thanks Chris, This seems to be the only 1 i can find with province and era but can,t find anything that makes sence to match the kuni and masa on the tang..what do you think? http://nihontoclub.com/smiths/MAS219 Peter

Thank you all very much for your help on this one its much appreciated. Peter

Thank you Chris, i know it would be hard since the kanji was where the mekugi ana are now, this seems to be a good find for me as it came in what i think is meiji or tourist style dark wooden carved dragon mounts. i do hope Morita san can shed more light on this tanto, Peter

Hello all, i hope someone could help with this tanto mei, (30cm) i may have,, Kuni and Masa , kanji on both sides, many thanks, Peter

Thanks John for the enlighenment always informitive reading your posts. I will look later to find out about different forms of casting. Peter
-
Thank you all for the replies and comments, i read on a post recently on the board that cast tsuba where made from brittle metal and therefore no good as a sword guard, if Nanban have been in Japan since 1500's,during feudal times, then why are they made if not to mount on swords? surely if they where all 'cast' they wouldn't last long in battle. Peter
-
Thank you Peter for your comments , if the Nanban 1 is a rarity i look forward to the comments to come Peter

Hello Gents, i picked up 2 little Tsuba locally and wonder if you would be kind enough ( again) to give me a little informtion on them if possible, age etc. 1 has been reduced in size to fit a tanto as for the other it fits nicely on a small wakizashi i have, i thought at first 'cast' but not so sure. many thanks, Peter
