Notice the beautiful tsuba posted by Peter has 6 petals. Must have to do with space limitations. Have you noticed any connection with the designs? John C.

Bruce Pennington Posted August 8 Author Report Share Posted August 8 After resurrecting this thread and reviewing my files, I was surprised to see a single line for the river on a Yoshihisa blade posted by @wakiboy that I had not posted here.

Deiro Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I saw a nice gendaito odachi on japanszwaard with that mon on the habaki. Unfortunately it is 6 times out of my price range, I'd still want to see it in person though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Hello, Did I miss it or no one mentioned that kikusui was also the mon of a 400 years old koryu? Many koshirae with kikusui could have been crafted for their trainee and it is still the case today. Regards Benjamin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Not military swords (by the way this topic shouldn't it be placed in general discussion?) but here menuki depicting the "Sakurai's farewall" between Masashige kusunoki and his son Masayuki, before the last battle of the father against Takauji Ashikaga's troup, and sadness of the son (11 yo). A classic of Japanese literature. See the kikusui on the armors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
