Bummer I missed number 8!

[Surfson]

Pete, I swear I see an Umetada before the character you call shige.  Have a close look at this.  B

Recieved today, looks even better than original photo.

Robert - that helped but this is all I could find.  It's from Shinsen Kinko Meikan pg. 135.  I could not find this in Haynes and I'm hesitant on it being the same maker but the mei is difficult to make out.  Yamashiro Kuni no Ju Umetada Shigeyoshi:

By Jove, I think you've got it Pete!

As Robert said, "Better than the original photo".

 

Thank you Jean!

Tsuba arrived Jean. Thank you.

Looks very fine. 

 

I made a question about the tsuba in the tosogu section.

 

Thanks a lot.

[vajo]

Tsuba no.5 "kikiriki" for me. 

 

 

No. 25, 27, 28 are stunning pieces. 

 

If someone would restore the boar Tsuba no.28 that would look incredible. Btw. the patina of the Higo Kamiyohsi looks perfect. I bought several month ago a close looking Kamiyoshi with a much weaker patina. Where are the Higo Fans?

[Jean]

#25 Higo Kamiyoshi €480

#26 Ko-Kinko €225

New picture of the Kamiyoshi thanks to my friend Vajo.

[Jean]

Here is the last purchase of Vajo

[Curran]

New picture of the Kamiyoshi thanks to my friend Vajo.

 

Very nice example. I sold a similar one years ago.

 

If it is anything like the one I got from you, the patina is probably perfect.

I don't know whether the former owner cared for them well, or the medallion box did a great job of preservation, but really a nice pick up.

[vajo]

Same to me Curran. Very good condition.

[Curran]

New picture of the Kamiyoshi thanks to my friend Vajo.

 

Jean, for comparison to yours:   https://www.kusanaginosya.com/SHOP/479.html

 

Yours is better done [and significantly less expensive].

My best guess is closer to the 1st Kamiyoshi, because the way the pine is carved is a near match to an example owned by another of our members.

[ROKUJURO]

Jean,

you have received an e-mail for No. 36

[Vermithrax16]

Mokume tsuba is tempting!

[Jean]
