Tosogu.de - New website for tosogu and nihonto showcase

[mareo1912]

Hi Everyone,

 

as some of you already saw, I set up a new website to share some pieces from my collection, mostly Tosogu, but sometimes also Nihonto.

I will continuously update the site, add more details and more items to all sections. I will try to update this thread when something new is added and hope that it gives us all some good references and/or nice discussions. Thanks also to Brian for adding it to the NMB Link section

Feedback always appreciated and best regards,

Hello Marco.K,

 

Love Ko-Kinko tosogu with great photos. Nice website with a straightforward design. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the excellent work.

Marco, just one thing I would add, that I think I expect from a website. An "ABOUT" section just saying briefly who you are, giving a little info on the business.
Maybe advising what payment methods you take, what shipping options etc. You have lovely Nihonto stuff, but very little in the way of business info.
Looking great though. Best of luck.

Hey guys,

Thank you for the feedback and kind words, also those reaching out via Mail.

 

@Brian Thanks for that idea, I will add an adequate page, however, this shall not be a selling page in the first place as I am and want to remain just a collector that likes to photograph, share pieces and from time to time sell one or another item from his collection for new buys

One new addition in sake of new years eve... and a new camera lens buy for holidays: a very lovely goto crab and lotus kozuka!

More details here: https://www.tosogu.de/goto-crab-kozuka

By the way, I decided that NMB members will get 10% discount off the website price on all things I list for sale

 

Best,

Marco

Hey guys,

 

today after a while some not too new addition to my collection. More for the Nihonto lovers, maybe I should add it to that section as well...

A magnificent tachi in Fukuoka Ichimonji style by Mukansa smith Yoshihiro. The blade won the NBTHK Chairman award in 1989!
