Good morning.
I would like to know if someone could make me 2 kamon in brass for
fukigaeshi.
It should be 5-7-5 kiri.
I asked to Toraba, but he didn't answered me.
If I can find an affordable solution, I would put it to on do.
Thank you.

How complicated is your Kamon and how thick would you want the brass? I have some experience doing things of that nature in Aluminum and may be able to do brass for you.

Noble Cousin! Greetings from Solveig! The 5-7-5 kiri is sort of reserved in Japan. That is, we really should not be using it or the 16 petal chrysanthemum either. These are governmental and imperial type things. |

Sorry, don't know how I missed that. If you don't mind it being thinner brass I may be able to do it. If I get some time in my shop I'll see if I can pull something like this off with some scraps. How big would you like these to be? Fukigaeshi are not really standard sizes. =-) |

The 5-7-5 kiri is sort of reserved in Japan This is totally right. Today. In Momoyama period, It was given by emperor to congratulate a man. Oda Nobunaga and Hideyoshi had worn it.  A lot of people wear "fleur de lys". Even in SCA. But it is exactly the same : king of France allowed to use it for congratulations. I have no problem in reenactment to use it : Prime minister use it after Meiji period (it was, too, a symbol for japanese army WW2, with chrysanthem : soldiers fought for emperor). This "modern" use of kiri doesn't concern me... ;D |
