It is my pleasure to announce our new Juyo baby (one of a few pieces that passed for us) from this years shinsa. I will post the info for this very special set for study for everyone. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for posting these. Truly a fantastic set.

Yes, I agree, Steven. I can't imagine having something so choice

Are these for sale?

Chris,

Not for now, i just put them up for everyone to study. in fact the picwith the nanako is from a Yujo kozuka I used to own. this pic is part of a page from the Goto article I am currently working on for the NBTHK AB group. Perhaps they will be on display in the museum for the new Juyo next month, and I won't get them back til next year anyway. I didn't know that you were interested in Goto fittings Chris, you collect them? If so which Goto do you like, and perhaps you could share a pic of some from your collection with us. i could always use some interesting examples for the article.

I have no special interest in Goto fittings but thanks for sharing.

Would be very interested in a bit more info on those legandary "secret Goto" markings such as you have pointed out here...and perhaps any other kantei pointers you can share Mike? Thanks for posting, would really enjoy hearing more about them than just the pics. Eye candy is great, but info is priceless

 

Regards,

Brian
