Thank you for your kind words. I'm really happy to hear that these films are useful for people everywhere.

Could those small objects portrayed at the base of the tree be mushrooms perhaps? Just a thought & thank you for the insight on this interesting piece.

Please. How do you clean antique fuchi kashira. I have a very expensive piece that I would like to clean but am afraid to try without first doing a lot of research. Many thanks!

[@FordHallam]

If it's expensive and a good antique then I could not in good conscience offer DIY tips for cleaning I'm afraid. These items are quite delicate and ought to be dealt with my properly trained professionals.

Why can't I find a video titled, "Tosogu Insights part 1?"... Why is there no link to Part 1?

[@ambulocetusnatans]

Did they have magnifying glasses back then? Because if not, they must have had better vision than me.

[@FordHallam]

Magnifying lenses were introduced into Japan in the late 16th century by the Portuguese.
