  1. 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
  2. I have seen these marks inside a Fuchi Kashira. What do these kanji stand for ? Is it a mark of a copiest?
  3. 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.
  4. Thank you Ken. I corrected my post. I read that Goto Denjo might have signed mitsuhiro but I have no clue of it.
  5. 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
  6. or shoami.... But nice one anayway.
  7. Nice work and patina would have to be restored imho
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  13. 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.
  15. Thanks Grev!That's mainly why I purchased it. It was in harmony with the global design of the tsuba.
  16. Partial filling.....
  17. Another Hizen one of mine
  18. and a specific thread on this forum:http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/26234-august-tsuba-kantei-exercise-for-fun/page-2

  22. Mine
  23. Hi, I have this mino goto tsuba and looking closer at the inlays I have detected what could be considered as some kanji. Is it in my dreams or can it be a kind of hidden signature ? Thank you for your views.
  24. Jeremiah, is it the same tsuba ? http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/23354-sankei-tsuba-for-sale/
