SwordGuyJoe Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 Not much more to say on this above, just, WOW! Look at the detail in that horimono.... I have seen some exceptional showa hormone from Shigetsugu and Shigemasa, but this is the best chisel work I have ever seen (regardless of the era). http://www.nihonto.com.au/html/order_made_katana_by_akihide_in_tachi_koshirae_with_nbthk_hozon_.html 7 Quote

Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 Great. Really special. Saved all the pages in PDF for my archives. 1 Quote
Greg F Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 Wow indeed! Art on art huh. Makes me wonder, what kind of detailed method is used to clean/oil such horimono? One thing for sure it would be such a pleasure caring for it. Almost get the hormones going! Haha. Thank you for sharing Joe. Greg Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Posted March 26, 2017 Given the date, the sword was likely made by Miyairi Akihira or maybe Akifusa. Just lovely! And in my defense, my phone has "learned" some terminology, so I don't have to correct it as frequently. My computer (where I made this post) on the other hand, is still a newbie. 1 Quote
Jean Posted March 26, 2017 Report Posted March 26, 2017 I knew Joe, and why replying to you, I started to type "res..." missed a key and when I checked the post, it has written "restaurant" LoL Quote
