chi fan wong Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 just went to the sword museum again to see the new award winners. i cant be sure but there seems to be a french tsuba maker that won an award? if so would that be pretty rare? Quote
takakage Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Hi, Yes, there is a french, he is listed too in the monthly magazine. It is not the first time . Quote
Jean Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Just to show my chauvinist dark side, please put a capital "F" when writing "French" Quote
Brian Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 I would have corrected Patrick, but since he is French himself..... Brian Quote
chi fan wong Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Posted June 15, 2014 pardonnez moi! French it is. its just nice to see more and more none Japanese work of quality being recognized. Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Not complete Thierry, you also need this netsuke : Quote
Jean Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Thierry, Undoubtedly the proof that Jabba Desilijic Tiure aka Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars has really existed and was Japanese, must be a self portrait. Quote
takakage Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 FRANCE for Jean le Bon. or Jean d'arc Va dehors. I can't translate the monthly magazine but i think , it is not a french but a Japanese woman who lives in France .......If Someone can check.... Quote
Jean Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Nationality adjectives: Patrick, my remark was about English idioma. In English, nationality adjectives are written with a capital letter, eg: You are French and not french, a "French" tsuba maker and not a "french" tsuba maker :D Quote
takakage Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Ok Jean (the dark), Please don't blame me, i'm just a padawan... Maybe the French tsuba maker is Mali Irie ? Quote
DirkO Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Didn't she only engrave blades? Although I did find work alledgedly done by her: Quote
Thierry BERNARD Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 very nice tsuba! here is her blog http://mali-gravureciselure.over-blog.com/ Quote
