Stephen Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 I 've seen sanmai before but not one showing off its insides. https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/m447159140? More photos https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/m447159140/detail 3 Quote
Brian Posted October 11, 2020 Report Posted October 11, 2020 Hmmm...cut in half and modified, or original like that? I don't hate it. Quote
Babu Posted October 11, 2020 Report Posted October 11, 2020 I've just sold a Koshirae that has Fuchi kashira done in this way. It's actually a very good look. The gold shines through and adds to the depth of field. He should buy this to finish that Koshirae off. Images should still be on the listing "Edo period Koshirae for sale" Quote
John A Stuart Posted October 11, 2020 Report Posted October 11, 2020 The site mentions Edo/Meiji period, however I get a very contemporary vibe. It is attractive. John Quote
Stephen Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Posted October 11, 2020 Is it only i that sees "you cannot buy from this seller" Quote
Babu Posted October 11, 2020 Report Posted October 11, 2020 No I see the same so we must be in countries he won't ship to. 1 Quote
vajo Posted October 11, 2020 Report Posted October 11, 2020 The Tsuba parts are glued together on the pictures. Looks total ugly to me. Maybe there where ring as mimi around parts. But overall it looks very strange. Quote
Stephen Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Posted October 11, 2020 Chris How did you come to the conclusion of glued? I don't see it. Quote
Babu Posted October 11, 2020 Report Posted October 11, 2020 I would suggest a poor repair as this finish is prone to separate. It would not have originally been glued. Quote
