Hi, I have a tsuba in my collection for quite a long time and discovered it in this site: http://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/kyoiku/topics/170909.html Can someone translate the tsuba description? ( I do not read Japanese)? By the way,the tsuba is signed Sashu Ju Toshi Sada Thank you
-
Jamie, it is not a Japanese sword but a chinese replica. regards
-
Thank you Steve. You confirm my initial views on this tsuba......

I just bought this tsuba signed Yamakichibei. Having it in hands , it looks like being late Edo. I have lot of questions about it: - Are the rectangular histu ana a kantei point for this school ? - What are the sukashi design (tools ) ? - Does the signature looks legitimate? Thank you in advance on your views.....

As far as the family crest are concerned on Fuchi-Kashira it looks like we have: Haruno : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Haruno_Symbol.png Ichimonji: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Japanese_Crest_Ichimonji.svg?uselang=fr

Thank you Thomas for you assessment confirming that the tsuba is legitimate.

Thank you Sébastien and Bernard for your views. I purchased this Tsuba at a very low price and was wondering if something was wrong with it.

To me it is a legitimate Akasaka Tsuba. Please give me your thoughts !

Laurentiu looks goo to me but be aware of the numerous "Kizu" at "Mon" levels. Cheers

A paper weight?

Hi Richard, that's a good possibility camparing rough iron style of some saotome tsuba. I take this scenario as a potential school. thanks again.
-
Thank you "SalaMarcos" for your interest. Nevertheless, sorry to desagree on your assessment. Efugo being " basket" in Japanese, as the design apparently looks much more as a fan (jigami) I doubt it can be described as efugo sukashi..... Having the tsuba in hands, I can garantee it is not "tosho" as the mimi is not as thin a tosho tsuba should be.... Thank you again....

Hi, I have been offered a Wakisashi signed :常陸守藤原廣辰 - Hitachi no kami fujiwara Hirotoki Does someone has swords signed by this smith? Any information on him (http://nihontoclub.com/smiths/HIR445) would be highly appreciated. Thank you

Thank you Ian and "merci" Thierry After seaching in books and on some web sites, I have no better clues than yours. So let's drive this tsuba has being in the Myochin school spirit with Jiagami (地紙) design. Cheers
