Tsubako help


Ed

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I have been looking at a tsuba. The thing is I can find nothing on the maker.

 

I would like to know how he is rated, period worked, or any pertinent information which you may can help me with.

 

The tsubako's name is Nanzan Hokushi.

He is the younger brother of Yurakusai Sekibun.

 

Thanks.

Hi Ed,Nanzan (also Nanzan Hokushi,personal name Katsurano [Katsura] Chugo) was born around 1791-1795 as the youngest brother of three:the oldest was Katsurano (Katsura) Mitsunaga,the next was Sekibun I (1790-1872).He lived and worked at Murakami/Echigo till around 1863.There are 2 pieces that he made at an age of "70" and "72".The reason,why Haynes has listed him as Mitsuyasu (H05536) only,shall be his secret.He is to be found in the Kinko Jiten on page 1143 as "Kanzan".The Mei on Your Tsuba is different from his other signatures,where "Hokushi" is put behind "Nanzan"!
