A 80 year collector lost a kozuka and a tsuba at the show. The kozuka is Waki Goto and has a design of a gate and roof in gold with two people and flowers. The tsuba is a round iron and katana size with a tree and roof in shakudo, and with kiku flowers. This collector brought these fittings from his own collection to show some people. He thinks he left it on some table in the show, while he was looking at some other items. He was planning to pass these fittings to his grandchildren, so he is quite disheartened that he lost them. The collector has offered a reward for the return of the fittings. If anyone has found or seen these fittings, please contact either me or Mike Yamasaki at info@ricecracker.com.
Thank you,
