    Andre - You have two papers there - the one from the NTHK gives the sword to the Bunmei era (1469-1487 - Yoshikawa Koen Sensei is included on that paper so you can bank on the attribution... -t

    It is indeed a bean pod - I would say this falls in the category of Bokuto (Doctors sword) as with all things Japanese they came in a variety of shapes and expressions. A nice example... -tch

    Thanks Howard - very sorry you've had such trouble - best bet is to print out the forms and mail us a check - some folks have used Fedex - we are unfortunately not set up to take payment over the phone. -tch 2024 reg .docx

    For those attending the show - now is the time to make your shinsa reservations We can accommodate walk-ins but much prefer to schedule folks ahead of time, this means less stress on all of us and more attention paid to appraisal. Note Friday AM is full up! www.nthkamerica.com -tch

    Bumping this for those interested in "Kantei for Beginners" Our Zoom Kantei is specifically aimed at beginners, the only book you need is the Connoisseur's book and we do our best to explain all the Japanese terms used. We only do one sword a month so you have plenty of time to formulate an answer. If you haven't yet we encourage you to check us out! -tch
