Curran Posted May 12 Report Posted May 12 On 5/3/2026 at 4:33 AM, kissakai said: I bought the shishi yesterday. The fine detail looks good Good- I was scrolling down hoping someone had bought the shi-shi. Decent waki-goto or kyo-kinko. [Edit: I see I was mistaken. #1 shi-shi still available. It seems there was a tanto pair of shi-shi. Image must have been taken down.] Personally, I am surprised that nobody has bought #8. I'd guess them for Umetada work, influenced by the Ezo style? Anyone had a Japanese made fitted box in the last year? The fellow I used is no longer available. Quote
Marius Posted May 12 Author Report Posted May 12 Thanks, Curran. Good eye, sir. BTW, all purchases were sent today. I will send Tracking numbers to the buyers tomorrow. 2 Quote
