Images of hada

[paulb]

Dear All,

In attempting to make the most of enforced time at home I have been trying to further improve my collection of images of different hada. I posted the images below on the Nihonto discussion group which I believe many of you visit. My apologies for the repetition if you have aready seen them there. I thought they may be of interest here, particularly to those who have recently written about being new to the subject and looking for information. Starting with Masame and progressing through various forms to arrive finally at nashiji. I have tried to encompass some of the huge variety one sees in koto blades (Soshu work is sadly not represented)

With Paul's permission, I add a Gassan Ayasugi hada.

This would be great if it could become the Hada Reference Thread and a sticky!

[Ganko]

Well done!

In response to Roberts request and thanks to the generosity of a fellow collector please see some images of Matsukawa hada from a juyo Norishige.

Could we get this stickied or made into a quick article perhaps?

Chris, I agree with you about the sticky, but if you go have a look in the Articles section, you’ll find an excellent article with Hada pictures by Paul already.
