Morikuni ( ? ) Katana and / or Shimada Wakizashi For sale ( Honolulu, Hawaii )

[ken kata]

Hello Forum,

May I please ask, is any one in Honolulu Hawaii .. I would like to sell two of my Japanese Swords.

I cannot ship them, as, there will be too much things to do , and, a lot of things I can  not do to sell and mail the sword.

I do not drive, I do not own any Phones, no printer to print Labels. ( I am " Left behind in Technology"  LOL )

I can not take good photos with my 30 year old Sony Cybershot DSC -W100 .

That is why I need  the potential buyer to be in Honolulu.  Sorry. My Fault for being incompetent in life. 

 

I am home all the time ( No car) ..

 

I am now interested in , and making Japanese Style Gardens around my Mother's House.

I need Money.  Home Depot, Lowe's,  KIso Store, .. Man, the prices of yard stuff is crazy.

 

Morikuni - $2500.00  - Some Members say the name might not be Morikuni.. Suppose to be a Koto Blade. 

Shimada - $900.00  -   Blade is in Shirasaya

Cash only... 

My PayPal is Blocked.

I can't get in, or pay anything.  as, they are asking me to provide information on, but, have no Phone or Credit Card. " TOTAL LOSSER"  in Life  LOL 

I only have e-mail :      akt808@yahoo.com

Alton, I'm just sharing in the effort to be helpful. Your NBTHK Hozon papers indicate Narishige (kuni fumei jidai Muromachi). The second kanji on the papers is not kuni, it is indicating that the second kanji in the mei is Shige, but not totally intact. 

 

Good luck with your sale, and let me also suggest that you may want to speak with Robert Benson in Honolulu if you need help with the sale process. We also have a NMB member named Ken located on Oahu.

I wouid also suggest showing the entire NBTHK Hozon kanteisho (not just the right side) to share the photo of the nakago on the papers. 

 

And show the other side of the NTHK kanteisho where the attribution is located.

You and the others are the reason this  Forum is so good.

Sorry for my ignorance ..

Japanese Swords are too hard for me.

I just can't " catch on"..

Japanese Armor was too hard, too.

Japanese Ceramics is quite difficult . too.

I am into Japanese Gardens and trying to start Bonsai .

Tough Life....  LOL  

 

 

Attached is a photo of the other page of the "Morikuni"  Papers.

I added  photos of the Envelope that the Origami came in.

Also, the Other page of the Shimada Origami, and, the writing on the Envelope.

 

Robert did reply to my  e-mail yesterday.

He and his son Chris came to our house twice earlier this year. 

Robert is also a Minoyaki / Raku / Japanese ceramic enthusiast like I am.

 

Guys, sorry for bumping up this post..

 

Thank You all for viewing..

Have a safe healthy weekend!!!
