Stephen Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Posted December 11, 2015 googled kanji and markus's book toso-kinko, came Hatsushinsai page 290 Quote
John A Stuart Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 I saw the Hatsushinsai and had thought it was a kao as well hence my ?? Makes sense though now as Morita san indicates. John Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Stephen, Patina match is great. You have got the Sea and the Sky - all you need now are Mt.Fuji or dragon menuki and all is complete. Steven K Quote
Greg F Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Hard to get a better match than that Stephen! Greg Quote
Stephen Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Posted December 11, 2015 Thanks Greg and Steven Dragon will be on tsuba, flash lightens the copper, patina is same as F/K (thanks Ford) sages for menuki would like a ito like this if possible 1 Quote
Greg F Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 That will all look sweet together Stephen. That ito is very attractive, big nodules on the ray skin always compliment a nice wrap. Hope to see it all together. Allthe best. Greg 1 Quote
