Juyo-Bi.com Updates Yoshioka-Kaga Futatokoromono

[Curran]

Hi all:

 

Been busy and really not much to sale. I am waiting on papers to come back from NBTHK shinsa.

 

Until then:  http://www.juyo-bi.com/sales.html

Up new is a Maeda Mon fitted boxed set of menuki and kozuka. In one of my odder NBTHK experiences, they gave it two sets of NBTHK Hozon papers to Yoshioka and Kaga [at the same shinsa].

 

I have been holding on to them for aikuchi mounts with a Juyo (Yamashiro or Yamato) tanto some day.

Haven't gotten the Juyo tanto yet, but may be pushing for a Juyo Hirata tsuba later this year. Some things must go to welcome in a piece at that pricepoint.

Tom,

 

Thanks. Papering items in Tokyo is taking longer, more expensive, and yielding less insight seemingly since Jan 2014' ish.

If the Yoshikawa or NPO NTHK can keep the paper price down on kodogu, think I will switch. 

 

Then again, not much good "TH worthy" kodogu coming to market. Only got 5 in the pipeline for 2015. Waiting on papers for 2, and have 3 pending for papers.

May just take the site academic by year end and fold the business license.
