Yasuchika Ippa F+K For Sale, Boxed $350

[Curran]

Yasuchika Ippa F+K for sale, boxed $350

+ shipping . International Priority will be about $33

 

April 1st, and no joke that I will have shinsa bills to pay at the end of the month.

Towards that bill, I am listing this F/K and possibly a signed tachi kake or Akasaka tsuba later.

 

FK:

   I feel strongly these are Yasuchika school f/k, though they are unsigned. The workmanship is very good. I've enjoyed owning this set, even if a bit outside chosen Owari and Higo focus.

Book reference is from the Nara San Saku. There were several examples up and down the Yasuchika line that reminded me of this f/k.

 

(1)  There is a matching makers mark inside the fuchi and inside the kashira [see photo]. I have not been able to divine more information from the Circle-in-C and Three Hash marks.

 

(2)  Materials:  Mixed metals of gold, silver, shakudo birds, and gold, silver, shakudo, and copper reeds overlay

 

(3)  Size:         Fuchi-       39mm x 24mm   (inside 35mm)

                     Kashira-    32mm x 16mm   (inside 30mm)

And a few more [slightly blurry] best effort since macro photography bedevils me.

Dear Curran,

 

Very nice and excellent price - these should go very quickly.

 

Thanks George. They are a pretty good set. I'm not happy with the photos.

I think it is time to retire the old Canon Powershot SD600 camera. Even low end cellphones seem to be taking better pictures than the Powershot.

Time to catch up with this decade.

Per requests, I tired a few more photographs in outdoor light.

I hate photography. Here is best effort for today.

and two more of the birds in flight, winding around the fuchi.

All I can add here is that the design stands up from the fuchi and kashira very well and is 3-D beyond my camera to capture today.

*Bump*

After some inquires, this f/k didn't sell and got buried under new listings.

Price cut to $299.

 

Please give it a serious look, as it is an excellent set.

Seriously good price for the high quality of work

ON HOLD.
