Brian, Thank you for this very clear explanation as I had the same concerns as explained by Sébastien.I hope Morita San is around to be able to decypher such a seal.Thank you all of you for the interest shown for my kozuka.
-
Thank you Steve. Is it stated that the Kozuka is mumei ?
-
No idea?
-
No clues?

Hi , I have this tsuba in my collection for several years now. I have not succeeded in finding a school or any influence.... Does someone has an idea? Size is 3 1/8" (marugata) large and almost 1/8" thick. Thank you.

Hi , I got a kozuka with a NBTHK certificate. Can someone translate the Kozuka description (Column 3 & 4 from the tight side)? Once translated, I'll post a picture of the Kozuka. Thank you

Good attempt as a large number of tanaka tsubako names have this kanji is their name(Toshi 俊). Apparently this Yoshitugu is the "Takahashi Yoshitsugu" who died at 32 in 1873 (Haynes 12247) and who is from the Tanaka Toryusai school.

Probably Shoami indeed

Fashion, trend, has also an impact on the value for such Tsuba. I remember, end of last century , it was very fashionable to have a Tokei style tsuba in a collection (Owari school or not) and prices might go extremely high. You can find some at any price: https://www.aoijapan.net/tsuba-mumei-unsigned-tokei-tsuba/ https://www.aoijapan.com/tsuba-mumei-the-clock/ Depends you taste and if the tsuba is appealing to you

Dear Morita San, What would be the NMB without you ? Thank you so much

Sébastien, Thanks to Randy very good advise, I purchased Markus book on seals... in fact I think I fund the first Kanji which could be: 冰 Does someone can indicate if he/she knows an artist name with such Kanji ? 冰邑

One Turtle from an old french collection....

Thank you to all of you for your comments and your new paths on this tsuba... This seal is still resisting any decryption..... Perhaps someone has a key...... Who knows.....
-
Hello , I tried to find out in my books who might be this tsubako but without success for the time being? By any chance someone could have an idea? Thank you
-
A shock. A very nice guy collecting tsuba with humility and taste.
-
Johnny, your tsuba is quite nice from my perspective and I agree not as old as Ko Tosho or Ko Kachushi. But I am tempted by a Myochin or saotome influence. I have a similar one ....(http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/19313-i-know-nothing-the-school-the-design-the-age/)

Two other Tsuba I got from this collection......

Than you Ron for your views on my tsuba. It size is 3 1/16" Bruno
-
Nobody has an Opinion?
-
Yes it is..... Please refer to: Bruno
-
Hi Gents, my guess is that tsuba is from Kyo Shoami school. Other opinions would be more than welcome. Thank you

If you have time, naturel oxydation Will do its job. Can take several years... I had an over cleaned tsuaka tsuba on one face which became dark red and similar to the non cleaned face after about 10 years.....time is money!
-
Defintively a nice tsuba but poor picture quality does not allow to decipher the signature. I agree with Greg, design is a Japanese straw hat (for a priest or for a bushi) . Il like the balance of there design with udenuki Ana.

Attention Namban Collectors ....
Kurikata replied to nagamaki - Franco's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Coming back to real life , is there any reason why gunome zogan does not apply both sides of the kogai and kozuka? I guess the side along the saya did not need any decoration. But on namban tsuba when there is gunome zogan, it is usually on both sides. Any clues?
