Kurikata

A lot of information:

Thank you Steve for your input. It is a nice added value to have this precise information on the Goto generation as the tsuba is mumei.

Hi gentlemen, I need some help in translation for that NBTHK green paper. Tsuba is Goto school, but does this certificate brings more information ? Thank you

There is one Harunori with these kanji in Haynes under reference H00854.0 (Nagai family) being a student of Yanagawa Naoharu but no Yasunori with these kanji.

Be careful : https://www.ebay.com/itm/185509599612?hash=item2b313bd97c%3Ag%3AI9cAAOSwJ3li2m7j&LH_Auction=1 looks like some copies are flying on the market

Bienvenue Nicolas, the 6 Star Mon can be the KUKI Clan one . Different family crest can be found at the same time on a Koshirae depending on the Bushi rank and his relations with some other families.

Thank you Dale and John for your nice exemples and for having given the exact topic of my tsuba as I was totally wrong. I was reluctant to assign a Hamano school influence to it but It is probably the case.

another exemple...

I would like to have your views about a potential school for this shibuichi tsuba. Topic to me is Kato Kiyomasa greeting Fuji mount.

Just to mention that David is a great seller and I am sad he stops his business. Tsuba I purchased to him arrived safely here in France.

Thank you Damon for your kind words and happy to have you enjoying rhis tsuba! Cheers

Hi NMB Tosogu fans, I really don't know which school made this tsuba. When I don't know, I say Shoami (please look at the hitsu ana size) ? Even the design is unclear . Is it a flower, feathers ? All views are warmly welcome. Bruno

Thank you Dan for your very swift answer. It is what bothers me. My tsuba are exactly the same size. Some bushi might have two wakisashi ?
