My newest Tanto

[FlorianB]

Dear Eric, dear Florian,

 

I have to admit that I am the guy who wrote the lines about the “Aesthetics in Japanese Sword” and I’m honoured to read that You appreciate my thoughts.

 

Maybe You know that since the 1980s a lot of papers had been issued in the NBTHK-EB by several members. However, nearly all those articles deal with the technical aspects of Nihonto and as long as I am interested in the Japanese Sword I struggled with its artistic value.

 

At least I tried to put my own ideas in the paper mentioned above and published it several years ago for both the members of the NBTHK-EB and the Nihonto Club. Later I also enclosed it slightly modified in the german edition of the first NC cataloge. Your comments suggest that my lines are of a certain use.

 

Finally, it is interesting to have a namesake in this message board who starts his own efforts to gain knowledge in Nihonto.

Hello Florian,

 

like i´ve always stated, i´m not you!(just kidding)

I read your article in the NC catalogue you mentioned, it was quite enjoyable. Is it a problem that i use the same signature?

The "B." is only my middle name so i could easily change that...

Hi Florian,

 

I think, there’s no need to change signature. Latetly I’m not very active at the NMB and if we are mixed up - so what?

If You like to exchange thoughts feel free to send me a mail.
