Ichi Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 This is a Japanese auction site where one can find some bargain items if you look closely. Held once or twice a month in downtown Tokyo. Better than ebay stuffs. FYI http://www.my-auction.co.jp/result.html ... 1=3&b2=010 Quote

Rich T Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 that transparent, damm that Akasaka work LOL. Rich Quote
Bungo Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 is that " repair " you see at the sukashi ? seems like the sekegane at odd places . By the time the live auction is said und done, it won't be 450 bucks. milt THE ronin Quote
Rich T Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 and I think that might be rust, though you could be right, the image is so small it is too hard to tell. I think I would give this sort of item a miss in the end and buy papered and good condition instead. One good 3 - 4 K tsuba is a whole lot better than 6 - 8 $500 ones in my opinion. Rich Quote
Ichi Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Posted September 25, 2006 Hi Rich, You will have to register before you can make your bids. Details on how to join and bid are here in English. http://www.my-auction.co.jp/buyingen.html If you are a member, they will send you this 350-page full color catalog showing what's coming up in the next auction, although tsuba and nihonto accounts relatively small volume. The September auction just ended last weekend. The next one will be held November 11th. Quote
Stephen Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 has anyone seen this type of blade ...with the hi on the bottom next to the ha. strange yes? :? Quote
Nobody Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 has anyone seen this type of blade ...with the hi on the bottom next to the ha. strange yes? :? Watch the blade carefully. Now do you realize on which side the edge is? Quote
Curran Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Bonsai knife, that is? It interested me more than the Akasaka tsuba. I have seen many "bonsai" tanto and even considered buying one, but this is one of the most interesting. Curran Quote
Stephen Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Yes it is i was on the run this morning...wish the english page showed up on items. Quote
sencho Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 BOKUWARI or HANAKIRI TANTO see rich steins oppage on unusual tanto cheers Nigel Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 What about Nata ? Its section seems more appropriate to cut bamboo then heads as a kubikiri tanto should make. Anyway I'm discussig the same blade on an italian forum and the same doubt arise immediatly. The different Kissaki and the Hi are a matter that shouldn't be on a Nata. Is there any noble soul that can translate the kanji describing this item ? Another one, a Nata for sure (?), is hereunder. Nagasa: 31.88cm, , Katakiriha, matsukawa hada, Suguha, (Thanks to Giuseppe Piva http://www.giuseppepiva.com for the images) : Its kissaki : Its signature : Its Koshirae : Quote

Is there any noble soul that can translate the kanji describing this item ? Hi Carlo, Do you refer to the item 207 0348? Then the essentials are as follows. Mei says that Ikkansai Masachika (一貫斎正近) responding to the request of Ito Masanori (伊東正則). A haiku was inscribed on the blade. The meaning is someting like "what a loud man to wear long katana at a cherry blossom-viewing". (notes: the haiku was written by Mukai Kyorai, who was a student of Matsuo Basho.) Quote
Ed Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Carlo, NATA TRANSLATES LOOSELY AS HATCHET. NATA WERE A TOOL USED FOR TRIMMING PLANTS AND SUCH, SIMILAR TO THE KAMA. HOWEVER, THEIR OWNERSHIP WAS RESTRICTED TO THE DAIMYO FAMILIES. PHOTOS OF THE ONE YOU POSTED, CAN BE FOUND IN THE GALLERY SECTION OF MY WEB SITE: YAKIBA.COM http://yakiba.com/nata.htm Quote
