Hire a proper professional because there are many who are so called so you should identify them and keep yourself away from them. It should be also understood that with time, many things have changed for the pipe fitting.

This is right before the Zombie Olympics. It was in three parts- javelin (where zombies threw legs), shot-put (where they threw heads) and the race. As you may see in photos later, speed was not a concern. Two of them crawled most of the way. And one contestant for the javelin throwing portion took the leg from the Prof, and promptly sat down and began nibbling on it. He won the silver medal.

芒蒔絵鞘突兵拵
Blade and Mounting for a Sword (Katana), C16th (blade); C19th (mounting)
Steel, wood, lacquer, leather, gold, iron
Fittings inscribed by 高本秀宗 Takamoto Hidemune
The style of this mounting, known as toppei-koshirae, emerged at the end of the Edo period (1615–1868). It reflects the influence of Western infantry swords at a time when Japan was modernizing its armed forces. The fittings, including a hilt collar dated 1871, are masterworks by Takamoto Hidemune (高本秀宗, 1819–1887), who had trained with one of the last great masters of the Edo period, Tanaka Kiyotoshi (田中清寿, 1804–1876). The scabbard is decorated with a delicate makie lacquer décor in the form of Chinese silver grass. The blade is unsigned, but exhibits the style of the Late Seki (Sue-Seki) smiths of the 16th century.*

Samurai Splendor: Sword Fittings from Edo Japan
(March 2022 – Ongoing)
After almost a century and a half of near-constant civil war and political upheaval, Japan unified under a new ruling family, the Tokugawa, in the early 1600s. Their reign lasted for more than 250 years, in an era referred to as the Edo period, after the town of Edo (present-day Tokyo) that became the new capital of Japan. The Tokugawa regime brought economic growth, prolonged peace, and widespread enjoyment of the arts and culture. The administration also imposed strict class separation and rigid regulations for all. As a result, the ruling class—with the shogun as governing military official, the daimyo as local feudal lords, and the samurai as their retainers—had only a few ways to display personal taste in public. Fittings and accessories for their swords, which were an indispensable symbol of power and authority, became a critical means of self-expression and a focal point of artistic creation.
This installation explores the luxurious aspects of Edo-period sword fashion, a fascinating form of arms and armor rarely featured in exhibitions outside Japan. It presents a selection of exquisite sword mountings, fittings, and related objects, including maker’s sketchbooks—all drawn from The Met collection and many rarely or never exhibited before.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was conceived in Paris by John Jay in Paris, 1866, as a "national institution and gallery of art" for the American people. The Union League Club in New York campaigned for funding, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened to the public in 1870, in the Dodworth Building 681 Fifth Avenue. Initially formed from donations by its founders, the Museum collection increased to the point that it outgrew the initial site, and then a consecutive one, moving to its current location (on Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street) in 1880.
The initial museum building was designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould, with extensions added from 1888 onwards - the Fifth Avenue facade, Grand Stairway, and Great Hall, designed by Richard Morris Hunt, opened 1902, and the Fifth Avenue wings by McKim, Mead & White in 1910. The last major development was the installation of glass at the sides and rear of the building, designed by Roch-Dinkeloo in 2011-12.
