My greatest interest has been Japanese swords especially Hizen blades, matchlocks and armor, however I also buy Japanese paintings, woodblocks, lacquer and ceramics. One specific area of interest are letters written by daimyo. I have managed to collect 6 letters written by famous daimyo and am always looking for more. Yoshikoa school sword fittings that are signed are at the top of my collecting list.
I am always looking for items for my own collection and for other collectors who have specific requests. Therefore if you have something which you feel might be of interest ether a single piece or a complete collection please contact me.
Here is a letter I have written by Hosokawa Shigekata a famous daimyo from 1718-1785
