Tanaka Tsuba - Signature Is Toshi ___ ?


Kurikata

Recommended Posts

Here's a clue, and the answer in the spoiler.
 
The name is a three-kanji "artists name". The artist's real name is in the seal underneath, reading right to left. (Sorry if you knew some of of this already). 

 

永壽齎 -  景則     Eijūsai - Kagenori

 

 

I agree with Joe, it is a lovely tsuba.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. The effect of the moon through the clouds, and the deer...beautiful. And the marks to the right of the nakago ana, they look like another signature, but very faint. Possible to get a close-up of this so I can have a crack at it?

Hi Steve,

 

Please find herewith more pictures. It is not perfect but I did my best.

 

i see in the SHOSANKENSHU from H. JOLY that KageNori might be from the ToshiKage school.....

 

He is referenced in Haynes' index as H2354.0

 

Thank you again for your help
