Thank you for coming to my store!!

Hello. Nice to see you on eBay!

 

The buyers have to pay import taxes in their countries.

Sometimes import taxes in your country may be much higher

than you think. Please check with the customs of your country

in order to know how much these import taxes will be.

(EXAMPLE: A buyer bought an item < about US$40 > from me on eBay

and had to pay 40 EUROs as an import tax.)

 

The price you see now on this page does not include U.S. < state sales tax >.

In 2019 some states in the United States began to collect < state sales tax >.

Based on applicable tax laws, eBay will calculate, collect, and remit sales tax on behalf of sellers.

If you are in the United States, please see if there is < state sales tax > in your state.

 

This is an original Japanese tsuba (hand guard) made in the Edo Era (1603~1868).

The design of the tsuba is 茸(Kinoko) (= a mushroom).

The material of the tsuba is iron.

The signature of this tsuba is “江府住 赤尾吉...”.

We cannot read the last kanji letter that comes after the word “吉”,

but probably the last letter is “次”.

 

The word “江府住” (kofu-ju) means “(I live) in Kofu.”

“Kofu” is Edo (Tokyo).

The name of the craftsman is “赤尾吉次” (Akao Yoshitsugu)
