One of the constant fascinations for me has been how often while studying one thing something completely different jumps off the page and demands attention,this time it was the swordsmith Rai Kunifusa. I had a sword by him many years ago but I was incapable of being able to tell if it was a true gendaito or non-traditionally made blade and my remembrance was sparked when trawling through Ron's oshigata book the other night and coming across one that had belonged to a Mr G. Trotter! Would love
