Orlando show acquisitions

[Ray Singer]

Just now returning home from Orlando, which was a wonderful show. I received a large collection of swords and fittings on consignment, which I will be posting for sale here in the coming days. If you are looking for anything specific, please send me a note at raymondsinger@gmail.com.

Best regards,

Ray

Looking forward to that post.

The shikomizue is available. It contains an ubu signed and dated koto Bizen tanto:

 

Bishu Osafune ju Muneyoshi

A day in August

 

The blade is out of polish and has very limited visibility. It is difficult to say much about the workmanship in the current condition. Here is the bio from Markus:

 

MUNEYOSHI (宗善), Tenbun (天文, 1532-1555), Bizen – “Bishū Osafune Muneyoshi” (備州長船宗吉), “Bishū Osafune-jūnin Muneyoshi saku” (備州長船住人宗吉作), student of Osafune Munemitsu (宗光), chū-suguha, gunome-chōji

Hi Ray, do you have further photos of the Shin Gunto?

[Ray Singer]

Hi, the shingunto sold fairly quickly after the show.

 

Best regards,
