Curran Posted March 26 Report Posted March 26 This was a popular fake back in the day. Lots of these floating around, but they slowly floated away to be banished to many a closet or mistake drawer. It seems someone found one. Maybe someone tarting it up a bit more than the average one. https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v1178415852 Never the less, AVOID. If you have been hitting the Jim Bean and find it pretty, bring it home to your own mistake drawer. 1 2 Quote

Curran Posted March 26 Author Report Posted March 26 Ah yes. I help moderate one of those groups. When asked to do so, the head mod had warned me we would have see a lot of the "what did I buy?" posts. Most aren't that bad, but there are some... that I know will get the poster flamed out of the group if I approve it to the group. 1 Quote

Lets not forget these came in a variety of metals Curren's example on Jauce https://www.jauce.com/auction/v1178415852 Is there no way we can tell the bidders to withdraw! https://www.jauce.com/auction/x1169866308 or https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x1169866308 32 bids!! Someone got stung for around $250 USD. https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q1169610247 or https://aucview.aucfan.com/yahoo/q1169610247/ That is around $53 USD 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted May 19 Report Posted May 19 Guess who is back? https://www.jauce.com/auction/r1185366221 The price is right at the moment 15 yen! Anyone in need of a "Dancing Cat" paperweight? 2 1 1 1 Quote
Curran Posted May 19 Author Report Posted May 19 Two decades now of "Dancing Skunks". Milt Ong would make fun of these. Now that Milt has passed, I cannot look at these without mixed feelings that they are still on the market after his passing. Convincing things that has probably scared a few collectors out of the hobby. They don't look that horrible in photos, but they are a real landmine for newer collectors. AVOID. 1 1 Quote
Steves87 Posted May 20 Report Posted May 20 I didn't realise he had passed, sorry to hear, he had some really good posts on some of the different Japanese facebook pages. 1 Quote

Spartancrest Posted September 24 Report Posted September 24 Couldn't they think of other designs? The design can be found in "Chōsen Gafu" I do think a price tag of over a million yen is stretching things - print your own papers they will likely turn out more accurate! 1 Quote
Jake6500 Posted September 25 Report Posted September 25 (edited) Re-sharing this seeing as the design is relevant... Some of you may have seen me post this Yanagawa kozuka of mine before in its own thread. Tanuki and moon design done right! Mei is Yanagawa Naomitsu. Edited September 25 by Jake6500 7 Quote
