A pair of Japanese smoothing planes that just came in. Both are 60mm set at softwood angle (8 bu) in Japanese white oak dai. The dai were sequentially cut, as one is labeled 23 and the other 24 in the bed. The left of the blade has marked vertically "青請合" or Blue Receiving Combination. The top has stamped "登銀" read as "too gin". I haven't been able to translate the stamping inside of the gourd mark yet. Both are unused, and still have that new kanna smell.
