My wife collects seashells even though we are land-locked in Wisconsin. She just loves them and will be happy to hear what you have provided here. Your images and research are a great thing to share here amongst the community of collectors and I for one cannot wait to see and hear some more of what you have to offer in the future.

Excited to know that your wife loves seashells🐚🪸I'm also in love with them from my childhood🥰 This is a link you can visit and see the ohajiki book I mentioned where Kisago shell ohajikis in an old package can be seen. I hope you and your wife find them interesting. https://www.kinnohoshi.co.jp/search/info.php?isbn=9784323051451 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroaiko Posted April 27 Author Report Share Posted April 27 A group of blues in two shades. From left to right; 17.5mm, 16.5mm, 16.5mm, 14.5mm, 16.5mm, 17.5mm. Out of 6, 3 got visible cutlines. One got big eyelashes. The smallest is perfect with bubbles! The right amount of bubbles so that streaky vanes can be seen through. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I learned from YasudaCollector that this forum got some information on the Yasuda's Santa Claus box. What he told me was new to me...a box with a date of 1929 ... and I wanted to read the original article/s by myself. One factory registry says Yasuda's marble factory in Shiba started in Showa 8 (1933), so 1929 sounds a bit earlier. I also wanted to look at closeup photos of Yasuda's pinch pontils. I hope that is the proper translation Aiko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
