https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/天下泰平If you mean these four kanji, then they mean that "there are no conflicts and disputes in the country. Stable order and security". This expression seems to be a peculiar characteristic of the Edo period.

Thank you all for the answers. I will try to provide more detailed photos one of these days, since the subject is not at hand now. I do not know where the author took the photo of a gunbai from the site to which I gave the link. https://samurai-world.com/gunbai/ That is, you think that the photos of gunbai-uchiwa presented there are also not related to samurai? Since my gunbai is identical to one of them? With respect to you!

Hello! I have 20 years now is such an item purchased in Japan. The thing is old, made of wood, old varnishing and decorated with mother of pearl. Length about 48 cm. On one of the sites I found a photo with a similar subject and the article that this is a fan of a samurai officer and is called gunbai-uchiwa. https://samurai-world.com/gunbai/ Tell me, is this a real subject of the Edo period samurai or a later subject? Thank. Regards to you.

Brian, Thanks for the answer.

RobertM Thanks for the answer. Jean, The dimensions are accurate, just photographed so with little distortion. Thank you for your attention. Regards to you.

Hello! Since I found little information on copper tsuba, I am confused. Please express your opinion on this tsuba. This is a modern souvenir products or still has historical originality. It can be seen that someone rudely rolled the tsuba under the blade by means of a rough copper insert. The size of a tsuba is 50 mm. on 61 mm, thickness 2 mm., tsuba copper. Thank. Sincerely.

SAS, EdWolf, vajo Thank you for the answer. ggil Thank you, of course, that you care about my eyes and my finances. Regards to you.

Hello to all. Recently, my modest collection was replenished with koshirae. I want to hear your opinion about this set. Was it originally koshirae a single whole or national teams. It can be seen that tsuba and kozuka have a single motive, the rest of the objects are slightly different. Thank. Regards to you.

Hello! Sorry, but my English is not so good, so I did not understand the question. Koshirae is, but they are clearly modern and national teams, so I think you should not even pay attention to them. However, as the blade itself. I took this tanto in Japan quite inexpensively.Despite my modest nihonto knowledge, I absolutely had no illusions about this blade and bought it as a modern version. Your opinions only confirmed my initial views. Of course, not 10-20 dollars, but more expensive, but still, despite modernity (or a piece of old blade), I like this blade in my own way. Thank you all for the answers. Sincerely Alex

Hello Greg. I have a blade.

Thanks for the answer! I can only add that purchased in Japan, inexpensive. Although the seller and positioned this tanto as old, but even for such a novice, like me, it was clear that the blade of the 20th century. You just confirmed my conclusions. Thank. Sincerely, Alex.

Hello, friends! I am new to this forum and only at the beginning of the knowledge of nihonto. Recently bought is such a small tanto. Total length about 21 cm. Blade unpolished, forged defects are clearly visible. I would like to hear your opinion on this tanto. Is it a modern job or is it an older thing? Thank you all for the answer. Sincerely, Alex.
