Akao

Thank you Grey !

Hello everyone ! Is there a date for the release of the volume 3 of "Tosogu Classroom"? Thanks again to the authors of the project, the first two volumes taught me so much!

Volume 1 is a fantastic book, I look forward to reading #2 ! Thanks for all Grey and Markus

Many Thanks Sébastien for your reply ! Here are better pictures of the mei ans the entire tsuba, maybe it could be helpfull, Best

Dear friends, Here is a signature on which I block, I think to have the last two kanji but impossible for the first one ... The right part where it is about "Namban iron" is ok ! For the left part I read about the two last : 宗作 Maybe I'm wrong ? Many thanks for your help ! Regards

I did not find traces of linear lamination on the tsuba, for the moment Myochin seems to be the best attribution Thanks

(un grand merci)

Hello Arnold, Thank you for your answer, I'm sorry but what would trace of linear lamination be like?

Many thanks Grev, I understand about Akao, more generally maru mimi but deep black patina and hitsu ana made me think Akao or Kinai I Will check Myochin Best,

Dear All, Here my last purchase (on Christian’s advice, thank you ! ) : a maru gata with a pattern of six leaves. 6,9 x 7,4 cm Thickness : 4 mm at the seppa dai In my opinion it is very close to Akao or Kinai school, province of Echizen, but I must confess to a little trouble in my research … ! What do you think about ? Thanks

Dear All, Many thanks for your answers ! Unfortunately I can not send you more pictures, the netsuke are in the holiday home, I will photograph the first again for Christmas! Again thank you for this valuable information,

I'm looking forward to read it !

I bought the first volume before the summer (thank you Markus Sesko), read it during holidays, and I also want to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in the project ! This book is exciting and above all very didactic, I recommend it to anyone who wants to begin. I'm looking forward to read the volume 2 ...

Hi, could you give us dimensions please ? Thanks !
