Posted on Dec. 9 2006

I called this my " zuikan " folder meaning the contents are totally random. Some may find things here that are interesting, amusing while others will call them Scheiße.

I hope ye all find the various folders interesting .

gun is covered in decorative brasswork , and this is an immediate indication of Osaka, where flashy merchants wanted to show off their guns. The multi-metalled wheel decorations remind one of a Kabuto Hachiman-za. The brass do-ban band behind the breech is very wide, another indication of Settsu, or Sakai. The moto-meate, or near sight is in the shape of Mt Fuji, another characteristic Thank you, Bugsy

Karuka. The scouring stick, or ramrod, is generally called a Sakujo, but the older and more proper name for a Tanegashima matchlock rod is Karuka thank you, Bugsy

Enamiya were a famous line of gunsmiths in Sakai. (They may have moved there from Negoro-Ji in Wakayama after Hideyoshi's famous attack on the temple complex, but I'd need to recheck my sources before being certain of my facts...) thanks, Bugsy
