Prewar70 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 I believe he wrote an article on identifying gimei work. Does anyone have a copy they can share or point me in a direction. Thank you. Quote
Ray Singer Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 There was a large, thin book published which I bought when Tanobe-sensei came to the 2003 Tampa Sword Show. I do not recall seeing an electronic copy, but a member here may have a copy of the spiral bound book for sale. Best regards, Ray 1 Quote
Darcy Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 I have it somewhere. I read it in January. Now I can't find it or remember where it was. The article is excellent. I don't have the large thin book referred to by Ray so it has to be in two places. Quote
wbt Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 I have the English and Japanese versions in several PDF files. The Japanese version includes the pictures. PM me with your personal email and I will send them to you. It is 7 PDF files over 30MB total. Unless someone knows a way to load them on this site? Regards, Brent 1 Quote
kissakai Posted April 29, 2016 Report Posted April 29, 2016 Hi Brent With some help I put my tsuba sale items (loadsl) in the cloud and NMB members could download it I'm sure you can have 50meg on the cloud for free Grev Quote
wbt Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure what the copyright issue would be, since there are scans of the two paper articles. If NMB wants and thinks it OK, I could send to Brian for posting. Regards Brent 2 Quote
Brian Posted April 30, 2016 Report Posted April 30, 2016 Pm sent Brent, will look at the logistics of sharing this and see what we can do. Thanks. Quote
Brian Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 I now have the article, which is a very nice one indeed.English translation now a single pdf. Japanese one (with the photos) is separate. The article is: APPRECIATING AND JUDGING [ANTIQUE]2 NIHONTO: PRACTICAL TECHNIQUES TO SPOT COUNTERFEITS by Michihiro Tanobe Translation by S. Alexander Takeuchi I do not want to offend anyone by posting it here, but since it is from the beginning of 2009, it has been a while. Still possibly copyrighted though. Anyone know Tanobe sama and/or Takeuchi san, who could ask if there are objections? Brian Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Easy to share even large files using a DropBox link, Brian, assuming we can figure out the copyright terms. Ken Quote
Brian Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 Sharing is not the problem (they are only 2 files about 3 megs each) and are just scans of the article.I'd just prefer not to tread on any toes by posting it. Will try and get hold of Alexander Takeuchi if no-one has contact with him. Brian 1 Quote
Shogun8 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Please let us know if this gets sorted because I would love to have a copy of these documents. John Quote
