Your writeups continue to be enlightening, Yurie. In your 29 April post, you reference "Sette" &Settu," but do you mean "Settsu?"

[yurie]

Hi Ken -Hawai

Thank you very much pointing me the mistake.

I changed it now.

After staring at my writing so many times, my eyes get funny.

It is hard to notice the misspellings.

 

To prepare the book, I hired a person for editing and correcting my writing.

Also, I am re-arranging here and there. 

Maybe by the beginning of the next year,  I hope I am ready to publish the book.

 

Thank you

Yurie 

[Ken-Hawaii]

Oh, good, Yurie! I hadn't heard that you had decided to publish a book, but I think it's a great idea. I hope you'll put out a PDF, as well as a hardcopy, as I carry most of my references around on my high-resolution 12" tablet.

[BIG]

Yurie, I buy it !!

 

Best

[yurie]

I really have to work on it.!

[BIG]

Promise when your book is published, it will be a must have for every collector. Be patient, ..

 

Best

[Jean]

Count on me Yurie, I’ll buy it

[Ken-Hawaii]

Yurie, that's a good writeup. In the very last sentence, I suggest that you add that the togishi also sharpens the blade, while he's polishing it.

[yurie]

Thank you very much for pointing me about sharpening process.

I changed it.  The idea like this is always welcomed.

 

also, I added the childhood experience watching into the furnace when the metal being heated up, and

pounded in my father's factory.

 

Thank you
