vajo Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 Unfortunatly i lost some of the oshigatas i made by storing it in the cloud (i cleaned up the storage - it seems i do it very carefully). These are the six oshigata i have found in record for some of the swords in my collection. Maybe you find it usefull and you have selfmade Oshigata? I would enjoy it if you show it. The NMB has a very good remembrance in the world wide web. Making these oshigatas is a good training for me to study the details of a sword. From left to right: 1. Muromachi Sadanobu Wakizashi 2. Muromachi Mino Wakizashi (mumei) 3. Nanbokucho Kuninobu Tachi 4. Koto Senjuin (possible Uda) Wakizashi 5. Koto Chikushi Naginata 6. Gendai-to Morinobu Katana 9 1 Quote
16k Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 Those are great, Chris. I still have the one you made for me if you want me to add it. 1 Quote
vajo Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Posted September 28, 2020 Ah JP, i remember. Can you add it? Quote
16k Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 Sure! Not at home for the moment, but as soon as I am, I will. Quote
Oshy Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 Allan Lee does some nice ones too if your artistically handicapped like myself (sorry for the glare) 2 1 Quote
vajo Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Posted September 28, 2020 They are fantastic Mike. How did you get in contact with Mr. Lee. I think he is the most important "Middlearth" Illustrator. I wish i had a painting from him. Quote
16k Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 Love them, Mike! Here is an oshigata made by Chris for my Dōtanuki: 2 Quote
16k Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 ... and here is the only one I’ve ever made for a probable Sue Mihara tanto. Was quite fun in the making! 2 Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 I am among the artistically challenged folks, haven't even tried doing oshigata for a long while now. Should definately do some in future again. I did this 7 years ago of Shimada Sukemune tanto I used to own back then. Horimono on that blade is quite worn and my skills are lacking in bringing justice to the sword, some things are definately wrong in that oshigata too but it is what it is... 4 Quote
16k Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 Well, I like it, Jussi. Great work for someone who deems himself artistically challenged. Quote
Surfson Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 Nice oshigata Chris! I think that #5 was once mine. Very interesting piece! Quote

He was selling a couple on FB which is where I did my communication with him but he also sells prints here: https://fineartamerica.com/art/allan+lee Quote
