Thanks Uwe for this proposal.It is certainly the closest link with a referenced tsuba ko. Garyô=Masayoshi=Yasuchika VI (Haynes 11109) . But the two last kanji (雋之) remain a mystery to me.
-
Dear All, thank you for your efforts, but I have not found a tsuba maker with these names: - Gasekichun (Steve) - Yasuka Kazuyuki (John) - Yasuyuki Yashiro (Google translation) Very interesting to discover that the translation of 雋之 is "SUNSET" in English
-
Thank you Uwe and Piers . 雅良 reads Masayoshi but I cannot find any Masa Yoshi with such Kanji in Haynes. And what about the other Kanji ? I will investigate further more/. Merry Christmas to everybody Bruno
-
Hi, I hardly decipher this signature. Can someone help ? Thank you Bruno
-
Well done. I like the way the print of the tsuba is integrated in the plate. It will be probably more complex with a kiku gata tsuba ????

Taking advantage of Steven good advise, I have check if this kozuka was on the Victoria and Albert Museum Website. Under the reference M.2144-1931 (Reference I got from the Arts of the Japanese Sword" of B.W. Robinson plate 81,) unfortunately there is no picture..... but the description is now ISHIGURO school (https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O464344/kozuka/)... Kyle's opinion was in the right direction... Thank you both of you.
-
Thank you Mickael. Your proposal is very interesting as there are a lot of similarities between Nara and Otsuki schools .
-
I fully support this idea of a wrong attribution in this book. This kozuka has no elements which might bring to a Mito classification. I' ll dig in my research in the Ishiguro direction from now.Thank you for the information.

Hi everobody I have this Kozuka signed Masa Haru which is similar to the Kozuka presented in "the Arts of the Japanese Sword" of B.W. Robinson plate 81. It is mentioned that it is from Mito school. There are so many Masa Haru artists with the same Kanji....Would it be the Soiken Masaharu Haynes H03925.0? Does some one have tosogu pictures of this artist? Thank you Bruno
-
Definitively they are wild geese. Guido is right to say it is quite a commun design on Japanese prints.
-
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

Etre vieux....

Same topic.... Hizen School Tsuba
-
Mine received today.....
-
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.
