Curran Posted July 14, 2021 Report Posted July 14, 2021 We had a client from St. Louis that sounded exactly like Foghorn Leghorn. Pitch perfect. A Korean War veteran, he'd say things to my wife like "I probably shot at your grand-dad". He had a voice that would carry from South Korea to North Korea. He preferred the phone to email. As soon as caller ID showed it to be him... the wife ran to give me the phone, "Its Foghorn." He would leave her deaf in one ear, so he was totally my responsibility. -- I liked talking to him, but his voice would leave my hair blown to one side of my head. Ps. The tsuba is a copy of Jinbei / Jingo design, done by Issei Naruki (rough spelling). He is a good copyist and modernly accepted, though a bit over prolific in recent years. I owned one of his Nobuiye copies, but traded it to Arnold Frenzel one year in Tampa. 1 1 2 Quote

John A Stuart Posted July 14, 2021 Report Posted July 14, 2021 I find that Foghorn Leghorn loudness a North American trait, especially by tourists when travelling in Eastern countries. If you say it loud enough, even though not an English speaker, you are sure to understand. John 2 Quote

Stephen Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Posted October 27, 2021 Bruce, are you a Russian spy?? 😂 😂 😆 Quote
Curran Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 I need a break from work. Off to watch Foghorn cartoons. Issei Naruki's tsuba tend to be copyist versions of real ones. I was not aware there existed a Big Rooster Shimizu/Jingo tsuba. If anyone has an image of the original, please post or advise where the heck I can find it. 1 Quote
Geraint Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 Dear Bruce, The text suggest that this is a koshirae in the making and that the maker has just swapped out the kabutogane for the chicken. Though I must say that I like the idea of a kabutogane cover, "The universal tachi, just wear your tachi around town during the day but when you want to spice it up for that special event just slip our kabutogane cover chicken head on it and away you go!" All the best. 1 1 Quote

Saving that down to my little research files now. I think I would trade off all but 2 of my collection for it. A collection of 3 tsuba.... to dream. 2 Quote
