Possible School on Horse Menuki

Thank you for your thoughts

[Nikanoru]

Nice set. Very well executed.

I would suggest Ishiguro or Tanaka/Tōryūsai.

Dear Alex,

 

Are you joking?

[Nikanoru]

Absolutely not.

Why should I?

[TETSUGENDO]

School ofTanaka Toryusai, never.  Ichiguro, improbable.  These appear to be late, mediocre work.  Perhaps I'm missing something here, please, enlighten me.    I'd love to see some exemplars that support your attributions.

[Nikanoru]

Sure, here you are

 

Tōryūsai

 

Ishiguro (not Ichiguro)

 

Or some independent artist like this for example, Yokotani

 

I would love to hear your ideas.

[TETSUGENDO]

If these are not papered or otherwise attested to from a reliable source, they are meaningless.  What are the particulars, BTW, your third example has been recently 'refurbished', just look at that slovenly re-gilding work.   Some independent artist is much more likely, but you didn't initially say that.  A lot of these things are simply late Mito works.

Papered, don’t worry, Steven. Everyone on the board knows you believe only in papers

Not everything that is not simply attributed is Mito

[TETSUGENDO]

Alex, I couldn't care less about papers, anyone on the board who has personally corresponded with me knows I don't  personally feel a need for them.   But, as we live in a time where the marketplace overwhelmingly demands them , I reccomend them to anyone considering a large purchase.    Also, when someone makes a rather unusual attribution, they should be prepared to produce reasonable verification.   And yes, no not everything is Mito, but they did produce an enormous volume of works in innumerable styles.

No reason to drop civility because you find yourself with your knickers down.   Perhaps, you misspoke, or suffered some momentary confusion......we ALL make mistakes, no reason for rudeness.

p.s.-In the future, keep your condescending emoji to yourself.

[Nikanoru]

Dear Steven, please provide at least one evidence, visual, enough words, in support of your Mito statement.

“These things” is a little bit vague, if you allow.

One valuable thing I learned over the years...to decline playing 'Table tennis/ping-pong' with fools.  With your attitude, you'll soon find playmates hard to come by.

 

Fini,

Warning to all of you. This is not verbal ping-pong. Don't make me force some time off to chill out.

[TETSUGENDO]

Brian,

 

No further response from me, if you'll notice I've ended it.
