DirkO Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Hi Jason, A good site to help you figure them out yourself is: http://www.jssus.org/nkp/index.html Then go to Tosogu Kanji -> Tosogu Kanteisho Quote

Lorenzo Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Jason, can you post a full picture of the origami and also a detailed picture of the place where the tsuba photo is attached to the origami? Judging by what is visible, I have some doubt about the origami. Quote
gtstcactus Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 I can't at the moment, I could try photograph it but my cameras' aren't the best, I used a friends scanner to put it up. I had to miss out the top of the origami and the left hand fold to fit it on my mates scanner..... It looks identical (except photo and text) to the origami another member posted on page 1 of this thread. The photo is in the same place as the origami on page 1. The photo has the "security seal" over part of it. There are 2 water marks ( i think they are water marks) which I only just noticed when holding it to the light. On the left fold at the top there are two Kanji (i think) and an 8 digit number underneath made by dots / holes. I'm pretty sure it's legit... I've been to the origami page linked off here and it stacks up I think. Quote
gtstcactus Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Dirk, That was the site I got much help from..... unfortunately for NBTHK they only go into detail about the Tokubetsu Hozon paper, and one of the old NBTHK papers kitcho I think. That's how I got what I did along with my books.... Quote
Lorenzo Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Thank you Jason, yes I was referring exactly to the things you pointed out. In the picture you posted that things aren't noticeable. And, you are welcome! (for the translations ) Quote
gtstcactus Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Posted June 17, 2011 Yeah Lorenzo for the translations I missed! I'm going to write out an english translation origami to go with the Japanese origami Quote
