Okay, I no longer feel guilty for posting pictures of Chinese fake tsubas...

Thanks Brian - it was a pretty bad image, It still troubles me that someone thinks dressing in a similar way is "fashionable."

Truth in Advertising - wouldn't that be a novelty! 

I see it all the time, showing an image from a book that is supposed to show the same piece but isn't. One recently had the same sukashi mon but inverted - who is going to notice the picture is upside down? . . . nearly everyone if they use their eyes.

Funny idea. Here is one of my scary ones =)

Not sure if this qualifies as scary enough but it’s the only somewhat creepy one I own.

Nice, Shoki foot on the Oni - you know it is supposed to be a bit scary, especially for the Oni!

Fun Piece!   Even if they won't guarantee the mei, at least at first glance it looks like period work...
