Norisuke of the Yagyu Nami style utsushi

[Curran]

Hi NMB,

 

I like high end Norisuke and thought myself quite content with what I own, but I have always wanted a Norisuke of the Yagyu Nami (+ Moon?) style.

There are two in the books, and I have been looking for maybe 10+ years. I've never seen one for sale.

Apparently they do pop up:  https://www.nipponto.co.jp/swords7/TB202616.htm

 

This one listed and sold before I was even aware of it.

Should anyone ever see a legit one of these for sale, I will be very appreciative and pay a finder's fee.

Of the three versions I have seen, this is the crudest version. Still, I've waited a very long time.

   A friend believes it was on Yahoo!Japan, but I was a bit busy with Covid issues overwhelming our business at the time.
