Wez Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 I have an EDO period or older sword that I am restoring and am looking for an antique menuki set that is insect themed (dragon fly, praying manits, or grasshopper). I have been searching for quite a while with no luck. Can anyone help me? Best regards, Wez Quote
Scogg Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 When you say that you are restoring an old sword; what do you mean exactly? Are you doing this yourself, or commissioning the work through an expert? Here on the Nihonto Message Board, we are dedicated to the study and preservation of genuine Japanese swords and fittings. We do not condone or support DIY restoration attempts. These pieces are culturally significant works of art, and attempting restoration without proper and extremely specific training can cause irreversible damage. Any restoration work should be entrusted only to professionally trained craftsmen and qualified togishi. Preserving these swords for future generations is a responsibility we take seriously.
