CSM101 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Posted March 18, 2017 Dear members, the meeting in Nuremberg was very well attended with 35 persons. The theme was kirikomi, or battle scars on swords. Mr. Kurzweil held a lecture and demonstrates some of the reasons for kirikomi. In one moment I thought Mr. E would loose his right leg, but fortunately nothing happend. No blood were spilled. Six swords with battle scars were on display. In the next round choji and choji midare hamon were shown. Eight swords were shown: Fukuoka Ichimonji -Juyo token Ichimonji Sukezane - Juyo token Heki Mitsuhira Tango no Kami Kanemichi Bizen Yokoyama Sukenaga Yasuyuki Hizen Kunihiro and one I forgot. Sorry. Uwe G. The rest of the photos can be found here: https://www.nihontophoto.com/nbthk-treffen-18-03-2017 5 Quote
Greg F Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 Hi Uwe, that would have been such an interesting meeting. Very enjoyable way to learn. Cheers. Greg Quote
CSM101 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Posted March 19, 2017 Oh, I forgot to write, that Prof. Kremers held a lecture about Tosho and Katchushi tsuba. Unfortunately my memory card was full and my mobile camera didn´t work. Maybe someone else can bring up some photos. I only have from my archive a Iyekuni and my all-time-favorite-Yoshiro-tsuba, that was for sale. Uwe G. Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 It is always a great pleasure to read meeting reports by you Uwe. As I can't attend the meetings in Germany I really appreciate your pictures and write up about the meeting. 1 Quote
Greg F Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 The Tsuba on the left really grabs me. Not sure how I would describe it but the Mon are so precise and well balanced I find it really looks great. Uwe do you know it's age? The other one is quite nice also btw. Thank you for sharing.

Jean Posted March 19, 2017 Report Posted March 19, 2017 It is a Yoshiro tsuba, mon were added after http://www.cgfinearts.com/select_product.cfm?ID=177&GalleryID=2 Mine 1 Quote
Greg F Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 Hi Jean, thats a lovely Tsuba you have. S'il vous plait for the the link also. Cheers. Greg Quote
Andi B. Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 ...I made a picture of the tsuba table - unfortunately you can't really see details: Quote
Higo-san Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 Greg, the tsuba on the left is a Yoshiro tsuba from the Momoyama period (NBTHK Hozon). Nothing was added later (after finishing the production process, of course) - I think that the tsuba in the link is damaged, having lost the original mons. Jean's tsuba in the picture on the other hand is a very fine example of a Yoshiro tsuba. Best, Chris 1 Quote
CSM101 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Posted March 21, 2017 Once again the same Yoshiro tsuba, but this time colorcorrected. Uwe G. deleted on request 1 Quote
