  1. HI Steve, once decyphered, it looks quite obvious. Thank you so much for your help.
  2. Hi, can someone help me ? Thank you Bruno
  3. Thank you Pete for being so patient with me and "invention" was a little bit provocative as I did not find any literature on this school but Haynes. All exemple I found on the web sites mentioned Haruta without ECHIZEN (only found one in Aoi art website but not at all in mine style). That's why I come as as a conclusion that this school is pretty unknown .
  4. Despite Axel and Pete help and after going through my books and Internet researches, I still do not have information on Echizen Haruta school. Is it really a school? My conclusion: It is a pure invention from the Fitting Museum, end of 20th century...
  5. Hi Dale , I purchased this tsuba 13 years ago..... directly in Japan to a dealer in Tokyo. Funny to discover the same tsuba on this specific site.... but yes, it is the same.....and i bought it without stickers..... . PS. The price was less than 1/3 of the amount published in the site
  6. Very interesting thread as I didn't how to classify this tsuba of my collection.
  7. Hi, I have this tsuba with NTB certificate stating it's an Echizen Haruta school representative. I have no information on that school but it's an armorer family. Can you provide more information on this school ? Thank you Bruno
  8. I am impressed by all these finds. Thank you Bazza!
  9. Thanks to Sebastien, I go this exemple from the Compton Collection which is excellent in skills and feeling.
  10. Ken , do you have pictures of these Tsuba?
  11. Hi , I would like to know if you have mokume gane tosogu in your collections. I have just purchased a kozuka made with this design of mixed metals. Is it rare as I do not see so many tsuba and kozuka made under this technic? Thank you Bruno
  12. I have seen these marks inside a Fuchi Kashira. What do these kanji stand for ? Is it a mark of a copiest?
  13. and in addition, a cross on a kojiri at the bottom of the saya, risking to touch the soil(purity/impurity) does not make sense.
  14. Thank you Ken. I corrected my post. I read that Goto Denjo might have signed mitsuhiro but I have no clue of it.
  15. Hi my Tosogu friends experts. I have a kozuka signed Goto Mitsuhiro and found a similar signature in the Kinko Meikan (page 494). Do you have information on who was this Goto family member? Thank you Bruno
  16. or shoami.... But nice one anayway.
  17. Nice work and patina would have to be restored imho
  18. Thanks Thomas. There are so many different opinions from high valued experts in this forum that the only solution will consist in having NBTHK validation. I do not pretend NBTHK knows more than NMB members but the certificate is generally considered as a strong clue.
  19. Surprised that nobody mentioned Somin school . Please find herewith a shishi dog from Yokotani Somin school (Attributed to Yakatoni Muneoki)

    Kodai

    Hi every tosugu experts. Kodai refers generally to higo school, Kodai Higo meaning late edo generation tsubako. I do not see this terminology for other schools (Kodai Akasaka, Kodai Umetada, Kodai Choshu, etc...) Is there any reason ? Thank you Bruno
  23. My Moon & Bats . Nara school ?

    somen

    What I know from my different readings of articles, is that 90% of the somen masks on the market are copies. I know nothing about somen mask and probably yours is a real stuff.
