He has evolved. Take his occasional sale of koma over the years. I posted the pic 2 years ago. Asano like stamps but the wrong color. Next step, colors get right. People who have years of knowledge and expertise in jnats and I talked to speculated that he was stamping Chu nagura. Who knows.
I am pretty sure he has a connection in Japan and they push stones together. At the quantity he is selling we are talking about a business. This is not a guy that just randomly buys on the internet and then sells. 2 different eBay accounts and add to that that he used to have a dedicated store where he sold his nicer pieces.
Bottom line, it's a free world and he can sell whatever he wants but I refuse to support him. Some stuff looks decent but I dont bid on his auctions. If somebody gets a spectacular stone for few dollars then God bless. It aint gonna be me.
