WTB: Bungo Takada daito

[Natichu]

Hi all, 

 

I'm interested in pursuing a longer Bungo Takada daito (tachi or katana). Preferably 2.5 to 2.6 shaku, but with some flexibility either way. Preferably koto/Taira Takada or Keicho. NBTHK or NTHK papered. 

 

Budget is around $4500 USD, to be shipped to Canada. 

 

Please let me know if you have any pieces that fit the bill you're looking to sell. 

 

Thanks,

Not sure if this one fits your needs.

Thanks very much for sending that my way, it's greatly appreciated. I think when initially looking, I thought I would prefer a Taira Takada attribution. However, on reflection that does seem like an excellent option and so will give it some thought. 

 

If you see any others on your internet travels, I'd be grateful if you could send them my way, but at any rate thanks again - yet another reason why the community here is so helpful as a beginner starting out.

Bump, still looking.

@Natichu Here is a helluva an example, 2.55 shaku koto tachi, signed and ubu, papered blade and koshirae: https://www.owazamon...-tachi-with-koshirae

 

It's currently a little over budget, but price is negotiable. Feel free to message me through the board or at soheiswords@gmail.com. Happy to help and good luck with your search.

Thanks so much for reaching out. That is definitely a stunning piece. I've also long had my eye on your Hida no Kami Ujifusa as well. If budget ever allows I'll certainly be considering both, but will likely reach out at some point to see what options you might have available.
