Awww, that's very kind of you. I really was only joking about you 'forgetting', but I must admit, I am looking to receiving my present from everyone on the forum in the post, very soon. I hoping for a horse or maybe a car
I ordered a mid-Edō period tsuba featuring an edamame pod hanging from it's tendril (I love edamame ) and an Edō period 'kogai', decorated with peony (my favourite flower) and used by samurai as a grooming tool…to sort out their hair, scratching their heads under their helmet, cleaning their ears etc. Don't tell my wife.
