Brian Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 Found this one yesterday: deleted No doubt he has duplicated a large part of the Sugawa website, but looks like there are some new pics there. Brian Quote

Peter Bleed Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 This truly is a wonderful set of resources.I happen to have a couple if items - including a gunner's powder mill - that might be worth adding to the images files. Are additions possible and welcome? Peter Quote

ROY RICKETTS Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 Many thanks for the visual glossary on match lock terms I now have an understanding of what others are referring to. Quote
Janrudolph Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Good day to all. I'm hoping to interest you in the image of a matchlock that I found on the tsuba of my wakizashi. Please see the images below. Johan Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted March 24, 2021 Report Posted March 24, 2021 Many thanks Johan. To me this suggests a hunting scene with the dog and matchlock and accessories lying on the ground, the presence of the hunter and the prey inferred rather than depicted. An unusual scene. Sadly, as is frequently the case with Ukiyo-e, Netsuke and other Japanese arts, I do not think the artisan had a very good understanding of matchlocks!!! Quote

Brian Brian, When I click on that link, I had to download and add something to my Firefox browser. Now when I click on it again, all I get are ads. Quote
Brian Posted June 18, 2021 Report Posted June 18, 2021 Link was taken over and is now dead. Not sure why you installed anything? That's always a no-no. Check your Firefox addons and remove any plugin. I deleted the links. Quote
