Hi guys,
A quick intro, I'm a new member residing in Singapore. Bought my first nihonto, a komihara katana from Aoi a few weeks ago and I've been following the posts on this message board ever since.
Need some help with a tsuba I got, its signed Ishiguro Masaaki (sp?) and based on a painting by another artist (have yet to translate his name). I'm think its gimei, but bought it because I like the Raiden theme.
Would you be able to tell any additional information on this piece? Is it a mass produced item? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Daniel
