Rich -- if this is the one you are referring to it's #149 from the Sasano collection book 'Masterpieces'. Sasano wrote, 'Akiyama Kyusaku's (1844 - 1936) statement that, from the swordsman's viewpoint, no other school can meet the standard of Owari guards is particularly relevant when applied to this piece'. It's magnificent.

Wow.

I've been feeling a bit the nihonto pauper recently, with a long standing bill soon coming due. Looking at the Tadamitsu and the Umetada, hmmm.

Only moths in the wallet. Humbling.

 

Rich- please take nice photos. Travel well.

actually you would be the one to cry.........LOL

imagine, have a date with Gwyneth Paltrow, but you are not allow to whisper sweet nothing ( and forget blowing into her ears !! ), nor hold her in embrace ( well, yes, you can only hold her hands )and take her home.

The longing afterward, arrrhhhhhhhhh, I envy you not.Take good pics, noooooooo, I don't mean Gwyneth....... the fittings !!
