Spartancrest Posted April 4, 2023 Report Posted April 4, 2023 Tosogu or Kitsch. My mum always told me never to put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear! But an earpick in shirasaya! - really? What must the formal koshirae be like for an earpick? https://www.jauce.com/auction/u1087247446 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 4, 2023 Report Posted April 4, 2023 Haha very good. They sell these in the shop at Osafune Sword Museum. Next time I visit I'll tell them I have a friend looking for a proper koshirae... 4 Quote

Microfibre towel. https://sanchomo-shop.jp/?pid=173418163 But this would be handy to have around, Tachi masking tape! How have I managed without it! https://sanchomo-shop.jp/?pid=173418170 PS. Back to the original earpick - is there really a demand for secondhand ear cleaners? Yuck! 1 2 Quote
