  1. You've got a remarkable local antique shop- jealous yup.
  2. trying to post reel of katakiribori from Ford's scraps on Bella's Facebook page. Despite my ignorance, it worked! https://www.facebook.../p/c9kGrUK9oE98pikV/
  3. Oil and low humidity.
  4. I discussed this issue with Ford several times. Markus's translations did not recognize the use of the term casting as referring to the method of producing the tsuba blank as opposed to the final form of the tsuba. All soft metal tsuba undergo casting, while all iron/steel tsuba had to be firmed into a plate by hammering the products of the tatara. Dan has been told this repeatedly.
  5. You're right, there is only 1 image and it's quite small and black and white. The text says it was purchased at Southeby's London, 1963 so there may be another image available.
  6. I'm most interested in Ford Hallam's submitted tsuba. Paul Martin used to provide a link that showed images of the awarded tosogu. Can anyone please provide a link to any such images?
  7. Ishiguro school, Ashmolean Museum
  8. It's all steel/iron from a kanna blade. My work, very possibly my 2nd or 3rd after class with Patrick Hastings.
  9. Utsushi of Toyoaki of Choshu plume tree. Recycled kanno blade.
  10. Araki Tomei but probably gimei.
  11. Isshi as I recall.
  12. No results for Kano Natsuo, todogu, or metal work.
  13. Hallam School. Original 2019, shibuichi on copper.
