Rich T Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Shibata this month have a superb tsuba featured in their magazine 'Shibata Rei' The guard was made by Shoami Katsuyoshi and is signed as such with a Kao 正阿弥勝義 The photos are sadly in black and white but he workmanship looks outstanding, as it should. It was designated Juyo in 2005. There is a lot of information that I unfortunately cannot read, however the theme is of Myo-o and a little devil but I am not certain about that. I am hoping one or more of our friends in Japan can call in and have a look. At 470 Man yen or roughly US$38,403.39 it certainly deserves a visit. Cheers Rich 1 Quote

Rich T Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 mate, I am unsure of posting a pic from a current publication, copyright laws and all that. Rich Quote
