Your "Shiggy" kyusu looks strangely familiar? Are you the original owner or is it ... previously loved? :wink: :mrgreen:

Thought so, and is that long time relative to his normal length of ownership? :wink:

I am shocked, this was his custom made one? He changes his mind more than most women! :lol:

hehe Im a mad tea scientist ! Im worse than a woman BTW with that! I buy I try I sell! Sometimes try again! No no the custom one never happened :( Mr Tachi is too stubborn :lol: I just wanted a shiboridashi. This particular kyusu is one from Hojos personal stash he was keeping for himself but was kind enough to let me take it in for study. It was an unlisted piece :D

Thought I'd post a photo of my little "workhorse" kikumaru. Not only does it brew me up some good tea, but I've been using it as a practice subject for strobe lighting. :lol:
