From my perspective, the mei is a part of the tsuba history. Someone (who?) found this tsuba nice enough to have a well know signature (for money of course).I am very often in the same situation with tsuba in my collection and if I purchased them, it is because they appelead to me. I would keep this tsuba as it is.

What Tsuba are most sought after?
Kurikata replied to barnejp's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
how many Umetada Myoju tsuba still are registered all over the world? -
Bizen Shoami recently acquired

Therefore a double side tsuba would cost € 750 ($ 850)? Expensive no?

Kashima Dori Kozuka - **** Yoshi + Kakihan

From very first researches, I think artist name is Ichinomya Nagayoshi (一宮長義). Kao on Shosankenshu from Henry L. Joly's fully fits mine.

Hi, I have purchased this kozuka with a Kashima dori design. Can someone help me in translating the first kanji? I think second one is "Yoshi". Thank you for your help. Bruno

I have this small tanto tsuba signed Terutsugu zo (Yokoya school). I was wandering the name of the technic of the ground metal which looks like ishime on silver. What are you views? What is the name of a "mei" on a plate (shakudo) which is added on the tsuba ? Thank you for you information

My researches have driven me to a potential explanation: "Shamoji are used to crush vegetables, such as garlic and cucumbers, as cleavers are used in Western cuisine. The shamoji has also been a symbol of unity between the mother and wife in Japanese society. In one tradition, it was passed down from one generation to the next to symbolize the family duties that were handed down." But why on a tsuba for a Bushi?
-
Dear all, a great thank you for such hypothesis and the Japanese pun makes sense to me (but which one?) If I summarize we have on this tsuba : a shakushi (杓子) or a shamoji (杓文字) a daikon(大根) Chesnuts (栗) and more probably sancho pepper (山椒) (please refer to the picture) I have now to investigate the meaning of such an improbable collection of articles....

I have this copper tsuba signed Masayoshi (Iwama?) who made it at 61 years old. But what about the design? Is it a ladle with radish and pepper? What could be the meaning or the story ? Thank you for your views.

Elegant. I wish to have it in my collection....
