  10. Almost all the old houses in Japan are wooden it's what they used,wood and soil for walls. Most of the new houses are wooden too. Flats or tower blocks are called mansions they use reinforced concrete for those. I will post some photos tomorrow.
  11. No I take down very old houses in Japan :-), we often find things. I have a few items that I've no idea what they are? The guys I work with think I'm crazy because I bring some of it home,they literally bin everything. It's so sad. John
  12. Thanks for the input either way no loss, as I said I found them at work so no problem. As they say in Japan " あした は あした の かぜ が ふく。 Can't do anything about pic quality I only have iPhone no digital camera sorry.

  18. Hi large Tsuba? H-9.4cm,w-9.3cm,d-0.3cm I think iron? It has various things in design if you can see. Torii,五重塔 or ごじゅうのとう shrine but there are lots of them so does it really help? Maybe clouds or water,the sun or moon, its different on both sides. Usual questions where, when,who buy? How to clean a little. Thanks John

    Dear john, I don't understand the problem anonymity should be respected,it is at auctions and the like and that is a far more important situation than this. The point you make about avatars is noted but if you look around you'll see a varied selection of names that are most probably fake but seeing as you persist my name too is john. It's been an experience,wow there's always one everywhere we go. Thanks Ise I mean john
