Great choice!  Caught my eye too!

Jumonji Yari is really nice. I didn't pick it up and handle, but was 'tire kicking' a purchase a few times through. Glad you got it!

[Mark S.]

I looked at it MANY times and walked away many times (just to give me time to decide).  Too many things to look at, then I start to calculate how many purchases I can make, then if I get this I can’t get that.  It really is the best kind of torture.  I missed out on a couple tsuba I was interested in because I waited, but such is life.  It was a great show and there was more I wanted than I could afford ALWAYS!

WOW😲 congratulations. Sounds like it was a great show especially for you. Everything you showed us is beautiful and I would be proud to be the caretaker. Again congratulations and thank you for sharing

The Chicago show always has some gems.  I picked up a few things that I like a lot.  An Ishiguro FK (signed and papered), Satsuma Kozuka, Goto kozuka and Murakami FK.

[Brian]

All wonderful!
Love Ishiguro work.

“Humble” huh?

Methinks I must get meself some of this here  humility.

[Shugyosha]

Me too but I don't think I can afford to be that humble at the moment. I'll have to save up for a bit.
