Have a good day sir,

I received the Yari and the Koshirae in very good condition!

I am very happy with the product and the service!
I am interested in buying another Omi Yari that is from the Koto era and has a nagasa (spear blade length) of 74 cm or longer.
I can afford the price of up to $4000.00 US dollars. I see you have another Omi Yari for the price of 750,000 Japanese yen.
I can not afford that price but should one become available in my price range I will be interested in purchasing it.

Thank you very much, and have a good day.

Hope all is well with you.

Dear Sir,

I just want to inform you about, that I have received the Ichijo school tsuba.

I’m very happy with the quality and I must say that your pictures did not make this tsuba justice.

I am a photographer and I hope you don’t find me rude to give some input regarding this matter.

Many Nihonto websites make the items they sell look better in photo than they are in real life.

I’m used to judging photo, but most people are not and are easily fooled.

With this Ichijo school tsuba it was the opposite and I was looking at this tsuba for months, but thought it looked to dirty to be interesting.

When I now hold it in my hand, I can see that it is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

This is meant as a friendly advice regarding photographing tsuba and kodogu.

I think the photographs of the swords on your website is perfectly fine.

The easiest way to make nice images of tsuba and kodogu, is to make sure that the flash/daylight is reflecting in parts of the items.

That makes it so more easy to judge the condition and patina of the metal and the items looks much better.

It is also important that the images are color corrected to daylight to get the correct colors on the items.

Please feel free to contact me if you like to get some more detailed information on how to do the pictures.

You where kind to give me substantial discount on this tsuba and this is my way of showing that I appreciate your kindness.

I include here some quick images I did of the tsuba after I lightly cleaned it a little, to show me my point.
I have not done any retouch on the images and it took less than 10min. to do.

This is the picture on your website.


Here is if I put the light in a to low position, but the image is color corrected og the right exposed.




This is the correct way in my opinion, with more reflection, and this is also more the correct way it appears when I see it in reality.
Now it easy to see the full beauty of this tsuba.

As I said, I hope I not have offended you in any way with this input and please feel free for you or your photographer, to contact me if there is a need for more detailed instructions.

Thank you so much for your business and please Sir, do contact me if you come across more Ichijo Sekka-mon tsuba or kodogu!

I am also looking for a reasonably priced hira-zukuri long wakizashi or katana.
Preferably in a reasonably good polish, but to keep the price more modest, in shirasaya, mumei and with some flaws are acceptable.
I will keep a look at your website, but if you come across some sword which might be to low quality for you to want to post it on your site or also otherwise, please do not hesitate to contact me any time.

Best regards

I got the sword today, it is really beautiful and its a great honor for me.
I would like to thank you that you made it possible and for the great Customer Service!
With kind Regrads,

Finally the sword with its koshirae arried here savely.

I'm very happy with this package and hope we can deal more in the near future!

Thank you for all!

Best Regards

I am pleased to let you know that the sword has arrived in Marmaris without any damage.

It arrived last week and on Friday I went to the post office to collect but unfortunately customs will not release it to me. As is common with Turkish authorities critical information of importance is only given when it is too late.

I am currently trying to correct the matter but this may take a few days, the sword will remain in bonded customs in Marmaris. I am told by customs that if I cannot resolve this matter within one month it will have to be sent back to your address. I am not pleased with this and they should have told me when I enquired before it's purchase.

If this is the case please accept my humble apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Any charges this may incur I shall accept.

I will let you know exactly what it happening in the next few days.

On a more positive note the post office allowed me to examine the sword on Friday and I can say that the pictures of this sword on your web site do not do the sword justice, it is more beautiful than I could have imagined. Holding it up to the light to reveal the full colour of the hamon can only be compared with looking at silk at different angles. I feel privileged to just see an authentic Japanese katana with my own eyes.The post office officials say that they have never seen something so beautiful.

One last concern I noticed that the papers of authenticity are not with the sword, is this because it must kept in Japan or has has it been misplaced when customs searched the package ?

Please do not let this cause too much worry, I am definitely hoping to purchase wakizashi kanetada item number 0650-2009 please make a reservation when I next e-mail you.
