reeder Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Congrats! From the Yasukuni blades I’ve seen, both Yasunori smiths made nicer and more interesting blades compared to the other Yasukuni smiths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan campbell Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Well done , on your find Paul. There were a few collectors there Sunday. Nice to see you found it and not one of the normal Japanese sword dealers . I’m sure had he still been alive Peter york would have had it before the doors were open . Congratulations . I think we met there last year. Brendan . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volker62 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 indeed Reeder the two "Yasunori" actually make very attractive blades, but kajiyama Yasutoshi (son of Yasutoku) is also in the top of this league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volker62 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Ajiki Yasyoshi not to forgive very rare but also very attractive utsushi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul griff Posted June 21 Author Report Share Posted June 21 Thank you Brandon and yes I remember meeting you Brendan, hope all is well..There were quite a few nice items at that particular show and not so crowded on early entry…The dealer who was selling it just wasn’t particularly interested in Japanese swords said he bought them off a chap who didn’t want them anymore and paid a lot more for them…My only mistake was not buying the others !

Volker62 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 maybe this makes things about Yasukuni clearer? a great collector here in europe and real expert once researched it. thank you Han Bing Siong 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan campbell Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 This is a great read, well done for putting it on the site. I’m pleased to see I have a Sadashige just polished, in lida naval fittings and Norisada again new fresh polish. They have both turned out fantastic, I had a second Norisada , polished which I used in a deal for the Sadashige. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan campbell Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Hi Paul, this was a Yasunori I owned in the early 80s . I traded it in for a mint Mino wakizashi, I thought I’d done a good deal in the trade £100. In time how wrong can 1 be.😱. Im sure it’s the actual sword in John Slough book . So i think , it went from Plymouth UK to the States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volker62 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 these excellently made blades simply lacked apprecation, even here in Germany by so called experts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volker62 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 it is thanks to collectors like Mr. Han Bing Siong that his research has uncovered what unfortunately despised for far too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
