Jan, thank you very much for your help! Regards, Ed

The bamboo case was a gift of a good friend. Most likely a case to store glasses but I am not sure about that. Can one of you tell me what is written on the case.

Hi Piers, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. That's an interesting point of view. Never thought about it . Regards, Ed

Hi Steve, At first, I had the same feeling about the kogatana and the saya. I have mixed feelings about the saya. It is obviously strange and it has the vibe of a tourist piece but on the other hand the fit is perfect. Why use a good kogatana to create such a saya. The poem intrigued me as well but I can't read even a part of it. Thanks for your reply. Regards, Ed

I have picked up a kogatana. It was cheap and a bit of a gamble. The blade is nicely done and decorated but the shirasaya is odd. Never seen one before. Made for tourists? What do you guys think? All opinions are highly appreciated. Regards, Ed

I would also pick number 3. Although not very clear the menuki looks interesting.

Here is one of mine, a ko kinko tsuba.

@Bruce Pennington no stamps, just the signature and the date. Regards, Ed

Moriyama-san, thank you very much for your help! I could never figure out that myself.

Need some help with the signature and date of this blade. At first I thought it would be a simple task to do but I'm completely lost. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ed

I was already expecting it was gimei after reading this article https://varshavskyco.../yamakichibei-tsuba/ Thank you for confirming Steve.

Thank you very much Moriyama San!

Colin, thank you very much. I wouldn't guessed the pine needles theme. Thanks Dale for posting other examples. I have noticed the faint Amida-yasuri. Almost like woodgrain. Although a tsuba with a simple design I like it a lot. A pleasure to watch. Thanks again guys for helping me out!

I'm intrigued by this tsuba. I can't read the whole signature but it looks like yamayoshi. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The decoration consist of black spots and a few lines. At an angle the decoration is clearly visible. Does anyone know what these spots and line represents? Please feel free to comment.

Thanks Colin and Ray for helping me out. I was staring at kanji sheets for over an hour. Never noticed the match with Sada.

I have a very small tanto and the mei is very hard to read. To me it ends with yoshi. I know some of you can do miracles. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ed
