I agree with Rich on this ebay piece: Edo period (18th-century) Myochin, based on the masame and the shape. Looks like some nice iron from here, though...

Thanks, Ludolph. A very useful photo reference. The Yagyu-Ono connection is a murky one, I think...but it would certainly seem there is a link between the tsuba in your photo and this one. Thanks again. Steve

Hi Henry, Alas, I am unable to post a photo... I believe the tsuba to be of the Ono school, but I'm wondering if it might not be an armorer's tsuba. If you'd like to see it, and are a member of the nihontostudy group in the Yahoo Groups, you can find it in my photo album under Steven_88_2000... I have two photos of it posted there... Thanks! Steven

Greetings guys, Any thoughts about the school that produced this tsuba? I've got an idea or two on this, but I'd like to get your views. Thanks, Steve

Many thanks, Rich, for this excellent introduction to these books. I'm sure they won't last. Gotta rush to get mine...! Thanks again, Steve

Hi Pete, I am of the school advocating "leave it alone." Appreciate it for what it is, I say. Jim Gilbert has an outstanding page on his site on (not) cleaning tsuba. You may want to check that out... Steve

Hi Pete, I would agree with Rich. Early-ish Edo Owari would be my guess. The boldness, the heavy squared mimi, the geese motif, the symmetry all suggest Owari to me, though it has a relatively "new" feel" to it, I think... Steve
