Thanks, Pacal. Quite unusual! As promised, here's mine. The Mei is pretty badly rusted. "Chikushu Fukuoka"  And then, at least on the paperwork,"Ju, Moritsugu"   |

Thank you, Uwe for your kind comment. Sadly, nothing is flawless!
What surprises me about the Jumonji on this thread is that the examples are mostly in polish. There are very few polishers alive today who would be willing to polish a sharp cross, at any price.

Hello
very nice jumonji Piers.
I did not know this type of shirasaya.
I am surprised to see that in Japan, it has trouble finding a polisher who agrees to Polish the jumonji Yari.
In France, we had Laurent Milhau who loved Polish it.

Pascal. The bottom of the saya was open, naturally, but I wanted more protection so I asked for a locking mechanism. Thus the L and R pegs, made for me later.

I have to steer way from this topic: it is like being in love with your high school belle and she dates everybody except you...  Interesting in Anthony's forest are the Sodegarami Another interesting chapter in japanese weaponry. |

Pascal, quote: "In France, we had Laurent Milhau who loved Polish it."
This man sounds like someone very valuable, a treasure. Congratulations on finding him.

Laurent Milhau, if I am not wrong, wrote a beautiful book on polishing. Very hard to find nowadays.

Indeed, Laurent Milhau wrote a very good book on the polishing of the japanese swords. He lived several years in the Japan to learn polishing. He unfortunately died in August 1999.
Many of us still talking about him today.

Minimalist and clean. I have a mid-century modern house and I like my stands to show as artistic works to compliment the pieces themselves. Sounds like we share the same taste/design philosophy. |
