DaveT Posted April 25, 2018 Report Posted April 25, 2018 Update. I visited today. The shop has hundreds of catalogues. 1 Quote
DaveT Posted April 26, 2018 Report Posted April 26, 2018 I enjoyed it very much. The only downside these days is that everything seems to focus on Art. Art armour from the mid to late edo period. The older suits are ugly and plain I guess. But putting that aside one of the best exhibits Ive seen. (Exluding the Samurai Art Museum) 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 27, 2018 Report Posted April 27, 2018 Dave if you have a spare, please keep it aside somewhere! Quote
DaveT Posted April 27, 2018 Report Posted April 27, 2018 I'm home now if you had said yesterday I would have got you one. Quote
Gilles Posted April 27, 2018 Report Posted April 27, 2018 Piers, If you want, I will secure one copy for you. It is not far from where I work. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 Dave, can't you wind time backwards? If not, then, Gilles, kind of you, but no, it would be a hassle for you to arrange postage, and my PayPal facility is screwed. Quote
DaveT Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 I would take up Gilles offer if you want I'll do the PayPal thing for you piers and you can sort me out later. The catalogue is excellent. And after speaking to the staff they said that only the shop will be stocked, so you have to buy there in person. 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 28, 2018 Report Posted April 28, 2018 D.O.N.E. Gilles, d'accord, s'il vous plait!!! 1 Quote
kiku Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 Hello, I have a catalogue for sale! I you want it please let me know. Best Sebastian Quote
Gilles Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 Dear Piers, It is still O.K. with me. I will deal with Dave for the paypal thing. Best regards, 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 Thanks Gilles, I will go with you & Dave. Looking forward to seeing it. (Sebastian, thank you for the kind offer, though!) Quote
DaveT Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 Gilles, I'm in Berlin this week working at the Samurai Arts Museum before the Gathering. The wifi and 4G is very poor.If you post the book to Piers and then send me a PM I'll pay for it all via Paypal as soon as I get an internet connection which is guaranteed from Friday onwards. Quote
Gilles Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 No problem Dave. I will give you the green light. Anyway, I am not in a hurry and I can wait.... 1 Quote
Luc T Posted May 29, 2018 Report Posted May 29, 2018 The armors are back in their bitsu, for another 20 years... Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 30, 2018 Report Posted May 30, 2018 And ever thus are they passed down to posterity. 3 Quote
Guido Posted August 30, 2018 Report Posted August 30, 2018 More than half a year has passed since the museum took my money, but I never received the catalog. Today I asked them to reimburse my payment, but since they never answere any of my e-mails, I'm not holding my breath - I'll probably have to file a claim with my cc company. Quote
Jean Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Posted February 12, 2019 That’s the shortest post I have ever read, Dave. 1 Quote
Guido Posted February 12, 2019 Report Posted February 12, 2019 This reminds me to give an update on my catalog: after the longest time, the museum finally answered, and reimbursed the money. A French NMB member was incredibly generous, and sent me a spare catalog for free. Thanks again to "you-know-who-you-are"! 7 Quote
DaveT Posted February 13, 2019 Report Posted February 13, 2019 I've seen the book appear on Ebay a few times now. Quote
Luc T Posted February 23, 2019 Report Posted February 23, 2019 The collections are the property of high esteemed JAS members. Top collectors! Quote
