Okan Posted June 2 Report Posted June 2 On 5/30/2024 at 3:47 PM, Bruce Pennington said: Wow, Okan, are those actual inserts holding the sides together, or are they painted on or inlay? Sorry Bruce I just had the chance to remove and have a close look at the habaki. These are just gold inlays(decorative) I was hoping to find that it was holding a split or something 1 Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted July 14 Author Report Posted July 14 That's fantastic, Dave! And it confirms the idea that the oblong shapes are a stone wall! Quote

Spartancrest Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 I drop the two images of a fantastic habaki over from https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/49606-collecting-tsuba-seems-addictive-how-many-do-you-have-on-how-many-years/page/2/#comments Dated 8/20/2024 [or as we non Americans would write 20/8/2024] The habaki is a part of koshirae which comes with two opinions: 1. By "all-American old school shinsa of tsuba and tosogu": in suite mainline Goto, too unusual to be more specific, custom order. 2. By an "honorary Russian shinsa of crafts and blades": a combinations of pieces, all by different Goto makers. Only one piece he identified as early mainline Goto, the rest in his opinion are three (!) different generations of lesser skill. 6 1 1 Quote
