Hello all,

I picked up this rather nice contemporary tsuba, which is signed Koichi (公一作) a day in August 1990 (平成二年八月日), however I haven't been able to find any information on the smith. I don't suppose anyone is familiar with the artist, and could enlighten me as to where they resided, whether they are still active, or any other relevant information?

A friend suggested that it was possible that this tsuba may have been entered into the NBTHK competition, in which case, if anyone has access to the results from 1990 (which I believe were published in the Token Society Newsletters), I would very much appreciate if you could confirm my friends hypothesis.

Yours authentically,
Kyle
