Hayama Enshin photos

[PNSSHOGUN]

A large number of documents & photos purpotedly owned by the Meiji-Taisho era smith Hayama Enshin were recently listed in Japan. Of considerable interest are the photos of test cutting by Enshin and what appears to be Nakayama Hakudo. The documents would no doubt prove rather enlightening to researchers, though the ambitious prices may halt such endeavors.

$710 with no bids. I love the item description "dirty/damaged".   I do really like a few of those photos, but I doubt I'd spend that kind of money on something like that.
