Final massive tsuba sale + books

kissakai · February 7, 2022

Hi
I’ve had a couple of tsuba sales and book details and as this should be my last big sale, I’ve amalgamated then all into one post
All tsuba are in one file and I've listed a couple of new tsuba that include two ko kinko tsuba

This is the tsuba sale link

The books are A4 and in full colour. My two books are available here:

Always best to wait for their sale as it can be 10% to 30% off
Please note this reductions are for hard copies only and not the PDF version

Any questions welcomed

Grev, does your version 2 have different tsuba, or just editing of V1?

kissakai · February 9, 2022

There are a few new ones but can't remember which apart for a few ko Kinko that were hard to sell so were added later

So a couple more tsuba

Better/enlarged images

Deleted all previous downloads as some members were asking about tsuba in my first sale so much easier to amalgamate them all in to one download

Dear Grev.

I think Ken might be reffering to your books when he asks anbout V2, rather than your list.............?

All the best.

Ooops

The later books have some corrections the the NMB pointed out but all pretty minor adjustments

I would bother with buying a later version for the reasons above

I did recheck the tsuba sale PDF and there were two missing tsuba that have just been added to the download

Not sure if they are new but the numbers are T237 and T341

As the 'bird' tsuba sold I thought I'd add another good tsuba

Brian · February 16, 2022

Surprised you are selling...very nice tsuba!

kissakai · February 16, 2022

Hi Brian

As I said earlier these were hard choices to make but I really need to reduce the quantity

After I sorted out the new sales I had to re organise the remaining tsuba hence all out on my table

Two lovely tsuba arrived yesterday, much better in the hand than online. Very easy to order and quick response and delivery. Grev is a pleasure to do do business with.

I bought my first tsuba from Grev in this sale (well, the first one without a sword & koshirae attached!) and got an excellent item and excellent friendly service.

Top kit & top chap!

Bought a couple of tsuba from Grev recently and just want to echo what others are saying. Packaged extremely well and last one made it to my front door in 8 days! Grev was very helpful, pleasure!

Just a note

Although I've not sold many of my books I was nicely surprised to see where they had gone and are shown below?

America, Arabia, Australia, Belgium, Britain, China, France, Holland, Ireland

Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, South Africa and Sweden

I get the odd PM and this was a nice one about my book sale:

"I just thought I'd let you know that we are presently about 1250 miles from home on holiday with our daughter and family up in Queensland and one of the books I brought with me is yours on the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery Tsuba Collection. I point it out because my eyesight is now less than O.K and your book's illustrations are a big plus, so thanks for that."

And finally a sample from my for sale tsuba. No T070
