Mon Fuchi Kashira

[Frank B]

I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on a school for this set. I am fairly sure it is late Edo, but I have no clue who/what school made them.

Hi Frank

 

one mon is from Akechi Mitsuhide. He lives 1467 - 1568 at the sengoku period. I think the Fuchi Kashira is Edo Period. So it is not a piece that was weared by Nobunaga's General.

Its a nice and attractive piece which was made late Edo i think.

Frank,

 

These are very elegant, beautifully executed pieces, therefore I'd say they were made no later than the early1840's.....well before the flood of revivals, foreign influences, and economic considerations set in.  As for school and maker, Shinsa is your best hope for a useful answer, everything else would be a shot in the dark.

Elegant and wonderful additions Frank, I really like them.

Thank you Jeremiah, I got a great gift this year. It was the 2017 Nezu Museum Catalog "Pinnacle of Excellence". A great book for those interested in tosogu.

Hi Frank

 

one mon is from Akechi Mitsuhide. He lived 1467 - 1568 in the sengoku period........

Chris,

 

that would mean he died being 101 years old. In fact this is the time of the SENGOKU period, Akechi Mitsuhide (明智 光秀) lived 1526 to July 2nd 1582.

Thank you for the clarification.
