Brian Posted September 29, 2016 Report Posted September 29, 2016 That actually seems very cheap for the amount of work in that! Quite interesting...lotta work! Quote
Stephen Posted September 29, 2016 Author Report Posted September 29, 2016 I know right, kinda like it and the nambam seppa dai too. Quote
kissakai Posted September 29, 2016 Report Posted September 29, 2016 I have no idea how the namban seppa dai fits in with the general design Has one part of the design been added later? Quote
Stephen Posted September 29, 2016 Author Report Posted September 29, 2016 was wondering as well, layers on each side like sanmai? (sp) Quote

SalaMarcos Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 Hi Toryu, where is located this koshirae? Quote
Toryu2020 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 Marcos i saw this at a shop in hiratsuka - they specialize in leather work - taking old suitcases and making them into something new they also had an LV bikini! Quote
SalaMarcos Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 Haha, ok, I was thinking that was an old thing, previous to LV! haha Interesting shop! Quote

Stephen Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Posted October 25, 2016 hes relisted, like many Japanese seller they start at a high price, sometimes they even increase it! Quote

Ken-Hawaii Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 I guess if you can use leather for tsukamaki, it'll work on a fuchi/kashira. Ken Quote
