Dragon Porn

Recommended Posts

I completed about three weeks of 10 hour days begging and pleading with everyone (even NMB) for good related dragon stuff. 

 

Going to post it as it arrives. This is a tsuba attributed to Goto Mitsutaka (Goto Enjo). Made probably around 1750 then, he is the guy who increasingly made tsuba in the Goto family and did most of the major attributions which are now used by the NBTHK in sorting out the earlier generations. Not for sale as it's going into a project. 

 

I am not a big iron guy as is probably known (but I will post something a bit later). This kind of thing is right up my alley though.

EDIT: Trying to fix the high res link, can't see the junk at the end of the text in the editor..

Barry's hint seems to have gone unnoticed (with one exception). We're going from *porn* to *I have a wiener, too!*. Again.

 

Sorry for presenting my taste. I delete it now. I hope i didn't disturb anyone with my "nice" Tsuba.  :)

I hope i can purchase someday a NICE Tsuba to share it with you. :Drool:  

 

 

Take care all

Regards

Chris

With all due respect guys, Darcy is presenting the highest level of fittings here. If people want to show their dragon fittings, then a new thread would be appropriate.
Otherwise, let's showcase fittings at the same level of what he showed. That means museum quality stuff, not hundreds of $'s, but many thousands. So far, only James' comes close.

Not to say the other fittings here aren't nice. But there is nice, and then there is NICE. Think the difference is pretty obvious.

Hello Darcy,

 

I'm not sure that this tsuba is up to the correct level, as I am a newbie in this area, but thought I might risk it. It is part of the koshirae of a wakizashi I purchased recently. Nice nanako (also around the edge of the tsuba) and high relief gold zogan. Any thoughts you might have as to school/age/etc would be appreciated. :=)

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one, unless your post is really relevant and adds to the topic..
