Nikanoru Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Tsuba in sukidashi-bori technique with flower design. Top iron piece from late Edo. Famous Daigaku shape, which was invented by the great first Yasuchika. The shape was explained to be a conventionalized form of the character Dai (大) of Matsudaira DAIgaku-no-kami Yorisada, Yasuchika’s employer at the time. Perfect chocolate brown patina. Very smooth polished surface. Udenuki-ana's made great play with the flower buds. Signed on the ura side: Omori Terutomo Kao Material: Iron Measurements: H87.4 x W74.3 mm NA: 28 x 8.2 mm SD: 4.25 mm Weight: 135 g Two kogai hitsu-ana Udenuki-ana In Kiri-box $500, all. incl.

Curran Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I wondered about the extra stroke on the 'Tomo', and if it had an alternate reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurikata Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Curran, As the father and the son both signed Teru Tomo, would it be a way to distinguish both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
