In the case of Jean's set. .... there can be no doubt. Japanese Dragons have THREE TOES, .... Chinese and others have Four or sometimes Five. Honest ! Notice on Jean's set the Five toed Dragon, .... certainly not Japanese. In any case, ... I have never seen these sets as made by the Japanese, ... ALWAYS either Chinese, Korean or Tibet. NOTICE the handles, ... they are all basically of the same style, also quite often characteristically they will be bone or ivory handled, and mounts will be silver or/and pewter. ..... Ron Watson
Ron, now I will have to count the toes on my "Japanese Dragon" saya!! Good eyes and good info.
