    If you've got it flaunt it, I guess.

    From my observations, all of the type 3 RJT star stamped blades in steel scabbards have always had the double release buttons (the additional button on the scabbard). These pieces are quite rare.

    A couple of Albert Yamanaka words of wisdom; "The less a collector knows about swords, the more he wants swords with a big name", and "The limits of a dealer's scruples are in direct proportion to the collectors cupidity". Applies to fittings as well. Just saying

    The artist certainly had the ability to portray the fruit accurately and no doubt did so. The fruit shown is definitely not a loquat.

    Looks like a nice piece "Bushu ju Teruhiro", worthy of a polish and a new wrap with decent menuki.

    Maybe Markus could do a translation?

    A victim of auto correct?

    Also in that book, Amata Akitsugu states that Shibata Ka researched jigane and succeeded in forging a jigane that was mistaken for that of the Kamakura Period and was not emulated by any of the Showa era Smiths. I have a sword by him and it does indeed have a very nice jigane.

    It is Nobukuni, he was also known for doing horimono on his blades. There is more than one generation, they are all pretty well thought of.

    The signature might be "Nobukuni".

    Beautiful sword, very hanayaka. The kind of sword that never looks the same every time you view it.

    It has a Hizen Shinto feel to me.

    Bazza, I am inclined to agree with red wine not going with tripe. I am anxious to try it with raspberries and ice cream. May be good with blackberries or blueberries and ice cream also?

    I have a Muromachi period Moritsugu (Chikuzen/Bungo) 29" gunome midare katana. I initially thought it was Bizen, a beautiful sword.

    The Takada smiths were known for making practical fighting swords with little snob appeal.

    I like it, and the reverse as well with the Sun rising over the mountains and the sea in the foreground.

    Appears to be a Korean or Mongol bow, not a Yumi.
