I am looking for Kanayama and Owari tsuba from the late Muromachi to early Edo period (approximately 1575-1610). I have seen some nice early sukashi guards in this category posted on NMB in the past. I am also interested in original Oribe tea cups/bowls from the Momoyama period....

Hello everyone I am looking to buy a hozon or tokubetsu hozon katana with the price range between 3000-5000 pounds. If possible I would prefer it to have a shirasaya and koshirae but I understand that may be a big ask for the price range so if anyone has koshirae would be fine....

Any thoughts on this tanto I'm planning to buy?
Guest posted a topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Hi, I'm a beginner at collecting and I'm planning to purchase my first nihonto. I found a tanto in shirosaya that I really like from a trusted seller, but since I don't have much experience, it would be useful to know what everyone thinks about it before I buy it. Specifically, do you see any fatal...

Hello, I am looking for a gold sword knot/tassel for an infantry officer field grade kyu gunto. See picture below. One just escaped me on eBay last week end because I was away and I am rather put out about it. It was sold for $ 145. I am proposing a purchase price of 150 to 250 dollars.
