Rabbits

[cwh3]

Hi all, Wonderful rabbit displays, even one not directly related to swords! 
Thank you all for sharing and the supportive comments. 
Have decided I would sell the Shakado set if there are members interested in this set. 
I believe they are quite old, some of the gold eyes missing but otherwise in good condition 

Brian, if there is interest expressed in these I will repost on the sale section with better pictures and size

Someone is wabbit cwazy, this one finished at $1005.94

[Stephen]

Yea watched it to end. Always wonder if sellers ever get caught with ther own bid.

[Pete Klein]

Stephen - on YJ the seller can set up their account so that they can deny a bid so if they shill bid one too far they can delete it and the previous bid wins.  Nice system, right? 

 

PS:  I wish you well on Veterans Day.

^ That is quite the set of attack rabbits! (cue Monty Python sketch)

Rabbit and Moon themed F/K:

Heavy shouldered rabbit and multi color metal use. Is it signed?

I am curious if it is Shonai work, or more likely Yasuchika line post Shonai.

 

Two shots in the dark, but it is good practice to try to figure things out before looking at a signature.

(*laugh*). Sometimes you miss the dartboard entirely.

[Vermithrax16]

No signature Curran, so no help there. I can't place the work either really, it's ok quality but certainly not high end. Main things for me are:

- it's a rabbit motif

- large katana size so easily mountable 

- look better in hand than in pictures

...If Enid Blyton was Japanese...

[Pete Klein]

Brian - I had to look that up.  Yeah, I can see into your comment.

 

PS:  FWIW - I do not like that tsuba in the least.

[Greg F]

Looks like the easter bunny with basket of eggs.

Nice one Stephen, darn those outbidders!

[cwh3]

Stephen, Question, is this Tsuba old? Appears recent to my eyes, excellent work! Great expression on the Rabbits face. A presentation piece perhaps!? Regardless, I love it. But alas like you, outta my limited budget.

So no expert here.

To bad it got moved around in a broken box. Nail marks where one would expect them.

Those are very expensive bunnies!

Pictures of the koshirea I assembled for my Katana which is being completed by Randy Black!

 

The Katana is a nice 1655 Musahi Muneharu blade with NBTHK Hozon papers from 2012, the Tsuba is also with papers.  The Kozuka, matches so well it was decided to place it with the mounting.  I hope you enjoy the koshirea pictures.  Once, the katana is back from mounting by Randy I'll post the pics!

 

 

[Stephen]

I got the Kozuka for Eric as well

For the well heeled wabbit:  https://www.touken-matsumoto.jp/eng/product_details_e.php?prod_no=KOZ-1854

[Ken-Hawaii]

Well-carved, but I don't like the one kicking up its heels.

[SAS]

It sometimes makes me wonder if the artist spent more time looking at rats than rabbits.....

[Ed]

Reading through this thread and realized I never posted any photos of the Hisamichi Boys day sword with Rabbits.

 

 

[Vermithrax16]

Love that set Ed!

[Ken-Hawaii]

That's a very nice saya, Ed. Blade's not bad, either.
