Peter Bleed Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Dear Friends, Given the lingering interest in Namban tsuba,my goal here is to post copies of an article I published a couple of years ago in "Man At Arms". For those who don't know about it, "Man at Arms" is a serious arms collectors' magazine that has a solid following - mainly among gun collectors. The magazine also seeks to speak to sword collectors so I felt a serious piece on a Japanese topic would be interesting to other arms collectors - and good for Nippon-to collecting. With permission, copies of the paper are attached. Enjoy Peter 5 Quote

christianmalterre Posted January 25, 2017 Report Posted January 25, 2017 Yepp! it is seriously getting time for us "japanophiles" so to study the Nanban´s ! Really phantastic work, great! (partially really great iron if you do find the right one..) to ben found herein, i just do say.... (somehow close to the Hizen,Echizen and latter Mino tradition smiths...not? !.....) (sandiron as a base alone doesn´t rule this game of Shinto and Shin-Shinto times definitely....i would say... ) Christian Quote
