Thank you all of you for your kind comments on this tsuba. I confirm that the metal is shibuichi for the plate. I note that there is a consensus for Nara school.
-
Dear all, despite my research I have no clue on the School for this tsuba. Nara, Mito or the "famous" Shoami one.... Does someone have a view on a specific school? Thank you Bruno

Estimations do not mean that the transaction has been done at that price. I read this article: https://www.nytimes.com/1992/04/01/arts/record-prices-at-christie-s-for-Japanese-swords.html $88000 apparently was the most expensive at that time (1992)
-
Thank you Mauro and Pete. In that case let's go for Shoami. Shonai Shoami tsuba generally look quite different in style and technics.But who knows?
-
By the way, what is the most expensive tsuba sold by the past, at auction or "over the counter" to a dealer?
-
Hi, I have this tsuba in my collection for a while and considered it as a Kaga school one. But I always had some doubts. What are you views on it? Thank you

Some elements as the pine tree in kata kiri makes me feel this tsuba has an Hamano school inflence.....

Thank you Ray and Steve. I have to start a new collection now .
-
Thank you so much Steve. Would this box be for a scroll rather than a Wakisashi therefore ?

Shonai Shoami 所内正阿彌 School tsuba to me

Can someone tell me the meaning of the kanji on the box? Thank you.

Picture of the tsuba?

Curran, totally in line with you and I personally tend to think it is a tsuba from Funada Ikkin even if it is mumei. This tsuba has been discussed some time ago:http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/13285-funada-ikkin-tsuba/?hl=ikkin
-
I have to admit: yes it is one of mine! And if question is : do you sell it, response is no. Thank you anyway for you interest for a very wabi-sabi tsuba...

relaxing and introspection tsuba to me
-
One of mine which looks similar. but more static and more Heianjo style.
-
Another explanation from Aoi Art: https://www.aoijapan.com/tsuba-mumei-futtachi/ ‘Futtachi’, the spirits of some aged animal carved on round shape iron Tsuba with open work. In ancient Japan, it was believed that when the animal with the tail got aged, the will gather spiritual power and gain more tails.
-
Could be Tosa Myochin school taking into account the mimi and the square strong cut of the sukashi.
