    Unknown makers

    I have quite a few tsuba makers where the maker is unknown A resent one being: Nobukuni Masatoshi 信國 正壽 I have quite a few reference books but found nothing Apart from an internet search is there another resource I can use? I know maker from say 1800+ can be problematic

  10. You usually have black 'dots' on bone but not on ivory

  23. I'd do some research first as you may only have the one chance to see them in hand I see nothing wrong with your selection but check out No14, possibly Kaka . Generally standard tsuba Hopefully some will translate the kanji for No4
