Nagasa 24 cm Further info on request.....just PM me. Asking price is On Hold ( plus shipping ) Thanks and Cheers! Chris

Excellent Tsuba! i once owned it.....sold it to D.S. and it went its way.... bargain price! Christian

Rich, for me there is nothing special interpreted....of course you can always want to interpret somehow and something....but I think that is pure stylism and taste. Possibly the Mimi was damaged at one point and the whole magic was organized afterwards ? Who knows..... Owari no, this is more typical of Shoami....( also the Geometry of the Hitsu-Ana .....) And this wild goose motif has been designed in such a way and on a such massive scale ( also in other schools or traditions ....lool Kyo...or Akasaka...)...I would also not stick to this at all.... Funny piece....that´s all.... Christian

Thank you very much!

I thought I'd play along with you guys for once. Who is that ? I say immediately, that is not a man in the individual who has made this piece! At least in the idea and in the conception of stylism. There is more behind it. It is not necessarily very old, but has had a very certain ulterior motive in its time! Well, some may call it old already, but if you love really old pieces, as I do, then it is rather rather modern.... I am very proud and happy to have such an exquisite piece....So I say with certainty. Very nice! Very good! A Tsubashi who signed under his name...but was very dependent on the inventiveness of his wife and life partner. Something new for a change! And not again those Yagyu.....Stil. - (ism).... again.....please! Old school.....

Tsuba is ON Hold! Thank you very much!

Dear Gentlemen, just a short reminder about my still for sale Akasaka Tsuba.... Sorry for my delay in taking other pictures...i am actually definitely a bit out of time... Here are some, i think, better pictures and i do hope it will find a new home soon.... The measurements are given in a older post already.... I lowered my asking price ON Hold!....so do not pass it! It is definitely a very nice piece and in very nice condition! ( there is nothing broken! the design of the waterplant is intended by the artist who did it! ) I guarantee you will be satisfied! just PM..... Christian some better pictures here:
