    Lorenzo replied to Eric H's topic in Tosogu

    The fondazione in that case was sort of promoter, but the video shows the "Samurai" exhibition in Milan last year; I think Carlo already put some link here time ago. The official site is now gone, as the exhibition itself.. you can see something left here: http://www.nonsolokawaii.com/i-samurai- ... zzo-reale/ ... and, the same exhibition will be open again this year, but in Venice: http://www.venezia.net/venice-italy/940 ... ny-museum/

    What an amazing story Ron. Once again thank you for care to share this stories, well written and a pleasure to read as having a good book in front. Have you ever considered about writting one? :D I am bookmarking all of your topics...

    Fantastic story and beautiful piece, as well as your tidy remounting of the missing parts! The barrel simply sit on the wood or it is locked down in some way? Also, there is a hinge keeping together the base wood and the barrel supporting wood or it just lay down? Thank you again for your willingness to share with us this pieces

    Thank you Dirk; what bother me on the second one is that the rightmost sign goes all over the top of the design.. :?
  18. Lorenzo
    Hi all. Would you please help me identify this two bonji? The left one seems to me Fudou Myou Ou ふどうみょうおう 不動明王 while the second one is mysterious. I may have mistaken also the first. Thank you everybody in advance.

    That's beautiful and clever, thank you so much for taking the time to go so deep on taking pictures for us Mr Watson. I can't get what that steel colour bar soldered on the box sliding door is doing; is it a sort of guide to permit a smooth opening or does it has some function such as a "remote" trigger for opening the box :? ? Thank you in advance

    That's almost my wife family crest, which is the kasanebishi. yours seems maru ni kasane bishi; the only difference is that yours have "hole" on the hishi, while the maru ni kasane bishi one has full figure. http://www.butudan.co.jp/kamon/index.php?kamon155 丸に重ね菱 You are showing it upside down. EDIT: I ADD AN IMAGE FOR COMPARE
