Hi Rawa, The length is 27and 1/4 inches. For some reason, I can not attach the "Kanteisho". Below is the screenshot of Kanteisho with my translation.

I hope to be able to sell for $12,000. Thank you for your interest. PS. I'm not sure why the attachment won't open. I must be doing something wrong. I took a screenshot. I hope you can see it.

At the next San Francisco Japanese Sword show, on 8/1,2,3/2025, I will be selling a Tachi. This is Yamato Tegai, mumei, o-suriage, and Kamakura period (so I believe), Tokubetsu-Hozon-to. Photo below. The sayagaki was done by Mr. Tanobe. Attached below. Please join me at my table at the upcoming San Francisco show.

Since last week, I have started to post the updated version of the "Study of Japanese Swords" one chapter at a time every Thursday. These updates will include slight revisions, refinements, and a couple of photo changes. Also, I will be hosting a live Zoom session each Tuesday (10:00 am, California time) to discuss the chapter of the week. Below is last week's Facebook notice. Please open my Facebook for a weekly new post.

@Stephen Hi Stephen, I am kicking myself for not taking photos of my daughter, Robert Hughes, me, and a few other people who sat near me. It was so much fun that by the time I realized I had not taken the photos, it was almost the end of the tour. I took these photos at the last minute. The food was wonderful (Tenpura was cooked on the boat and served on the spot). A couple of people sang Karaoke, and later we sang along together. Outside of the boat, we were surrounded by many high-rise buildings with huge numbers of lights, went under a bridge, and saw many other boats like us. Soken-do (sword store) sent me more photos of my swords. This time, side-view.

Hi, Everyone, I attended DTI and bought one, 長船倫光　（Osafune Tomomitsu, Mumei He was a student of Osafune Kagemitsu. Around Enbun・Jyoji era（1356－1367） This is O-suriage which is fine for me since my arm is short, otherwise I can not open the sword by myself. This was the one displayed inside the glass case of the Sokendo booth. The Kissaki needed a little polish, so I left it for the polish. The person who took this photo stood at the lower end, therefore, the entire shape is distorted. On the Keicho-do thread, I posted the photos of the Yakata-bune party hosted by Mr. Robert Hughes. It was great fun. Thank you, Mr. Robert Hughes. I have more photos, but it does not allow me to attach. The kissaki is between the chu-gissaki and o-gissaki.

Dai Token Ichi was wonderful. Mr. Robert Hughes hosted the "Yakatabune party" like any other year. This is a tour boat around Tokyo Bay with Japanese dinner and drinks. I joined the party with my daughter. Here are the photos. Thank you, Mr. Robert Hughes.

Hi, To pay and to receive money, "Zelle" may be easiest. I understand that PayPal may be for a smaller amount. Before you go to the show, set up the Zelle on your cell. Usually, anybody who accepts Zelle may have a QR code with him. Take a picture of the QR code, then enter the amount. The transaction should show quickly on your cell. It may require several times of practice. Here is the photo of the 2024 San Francisco Token Kai

Hi Everyone, The Sano Museum trip had a big turn. Things changed after the head of the Sano Museum, Mis Watanabe passed in February. Their new policy or the old policy was revived, the museum canceled the viewing gathering only a month and a half before the planned date. I panicked!! Thanks to one of the members of the Nihon-to Message Board, Adrian Schlemmer took charge of the gathering. He set up a wonderful sword-viewing gathering near his house. I can not thank him enough. 1 and 2 photo : viewing scene 3rd photo : entering a wonderful restaurant 4th photo : Dinner in the separate dining room

No, nothing has changed. Ms. Watanabe already assigned a new head of the Museum a few years back. A new person, Ms. Shida is the person I am talking to and arranging in detail about the visit. Thank you Yurie

Anybody interested in buying an E-book, can go to my website and read it for free. www.studyingjapaneseswords.com I am in the process of changing the publishing company. It is taking longer than I expected. but once it is done, no more problems, I hope. It has been a nightmare. Thank you very much for interested in reading my book I really appreciate it. Yurie

OK, we have a lot of time. Yurie

Hi, Everyone I started to receive sign-up sheets from those who decided to visit the Sano Museum on 5/29/2024. I am thinking the limit of the number of people would be around 15 people. Anyone who sends me the sign-up sheet would be the first priority. People who showed interest in going in the past in this thread, I recommend to send me the sign-up sheet. Thank you Yurie

Hi, This is Yurie. My husband and I would like to join you at the Friday dinner at 7:30. Please add us to the dinner gathering. We will be driving, so we have 3 spaces (may be tight) for anybody who needs a ride to the restaurant. Looking forward Yurie
