Robert Housley Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 First off, hello to everyone. I have been away for quite some time. My wife became very ill in 2014 and I had health problems of my own in the last couple of years. Due to the passing of my wife in November, I am forced to sell some of my favorite pieces. The first is my only nihonto katana. I bought this piece from AOI art in early 2014. I have admired and loved it since, but I must let it go. Here are the dimensions: Blade length: 28.12 inches Sori: 0.6 inches Width at hamachi: 1.3 inches Width at kissaki: 0.87 inches Kasane: 0.29 inches Mekugi: 2 Said to be from mid muromachi period. Attributed to Kanenobu (Shiga Seki) With NBTHK Hozon paper and whole Oshigata from AOI art. I am asking $4300.00 plus shipping and PayPal fees. I am enclosing pictures and scans done origionally by AOI Art. I hope they will not mind. Their images are far better than mine would be. I will also be listing several tsuba in other posts if anyone is interested. Thanks for looking. It was good to see so many familiar names in recent posts. I was asked for a picture of the Hozon paper, so here it is. 6 Quote

seattle1 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 Hello: It seems a little strange to applaud and not buy, but this looks like an excellent buy for a starting or more than starting collector: good length, nice looking polished and papered sword with shirasaya and what appears to be a gold-foil habaki. It shouldn't linger long at that price! Arnold F. 1 Quote
