Thanks for the latest details

Thanks for the feedback and I've read the info on the link I'm all OK with the first example but there are errors with kanji for the second mei Also Soten saku then Soten sei seems strange The last term Soheishi is also unknown to me Soten saku Soheishi Nyudo Soten sei 藻典 作 藻柄ｿ子 入道 宗典 製 Maybe just brain fog! For us numpty collectors can get a bit worried about asking the obvious Like in a classroom when everyone looks at you when you ask a simple question when the answer is know by everbody

These are couple of Soten school examples but I don't understand some of the terminology I'm assuming this is an area, Goshu Hikone ju Hyudo maybe a title Ref T508 Hyudo Soten ju Soheishi Goshu Hikone ju 入道 宗典 住 藻柄子 江州 彦根 住 Ref 1903M66.7 Soten saku Soheishi Nyudo Soten sei 藻典 作 藻柄ｿ子 入道 宗典 製

This is from the Birmingham Museum ref 1930M631 I see this as Mitsunobu 光延 but can't find the kanji for the right hand side

Thanks Can you give me an idea on the #4 content? What do have in mind for #5?

Hi Markus I can't find this book on LuLu

Brilliant, all now sorted

Moriyama Koichi san These are a couple of images and I hope they can help

Thank you both it was confusing for me Any idea for the kanji on the reverse?

I'm unsure how I came to the translation below so I need a little help

Hi Piers The image is not very clear I assume it is iron The design doesn't go over the seppa dai but there are examples of this feature The kozuka ana appears to be lined which is more unusual and some were a later addition Like a good mystery I expect to be surprised by the ending and feeling a little silly

I could go with either descriptions but I'd be happier if there was a depression in the 'stone'

Hi Can anyone help with this design At the moment I'm thinking of just a box but having the two silver 'dots' and the edges may be significant Look like a black stone

Silly question When does this auction start?

Did your father have records of these items? Most collectors would have details of their collection If he did these would greatly assist in an evaluation
