Similar tsuba can be found in this website:http://nihontoclub.com/node/14299

A Tsuba is being sold on Ebay with similar Hitsu Ana with mine and Apparently the form of the Ana is done on purpose....
-
Thank you Stephen and Brian to make me know that all NBM members not have to be Microsoft addicts Thank you Currran for your marvelous exemple too. In fact I found a daisho pair on the Web with such Hitsu Ana mentioned as Kyo Sukashi... Was it fashionbable to have such Tsuba at a time, was it for a spectific family?

Hi, I purchased this Shoami Tsuba some while ago (Tsunami design) with Matsukawabishi mon hitsu ana. I discovered on web sites several other exemples ... Do you know if this style corresponds to Shoami school exclusively ? Is it a sign that these tsubas where made for a specific clan and which one ? Thank you for you views on this

Hello guys, Tsuba with tendrils is mine and I do confirm that they have been inlaid post tsuba carving. I have added anotherone with squirrels where tendrils have been carved and not added. but tendrils in that second case are not as thin as the previous one. Regard

Thank you Mark, I saw your F/K before posting my Tsuba as Tososgu with corals are quite rare. It is for sure same Workshop. I am more doubtful regarding the artist as my Tsuba is with nanako when yours are with flat surface. Same style , probably same school bur what about the artist ? Best regards

Hi, I just purchased this Tsuba representing camelia flowers in silver with coral inlays. Tsuba is in shakudo with a nanako mimi. Plate of tsuba is in ishime. Size is 6 cm X 5.6 cm I search in NMB posts and found a similar F/K: http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4726&p=45000&hilit=coral+tsuba#p45000 Does someone know a school doing such coral inlays ? Thank you

In fact another example of a Japanese axe design on a Tsuba..... Looks similar to Marius' woodblock prints...
-
David, based on your Tsuba, my signature seems quite different and confirming the "gimei" trend. Mariusz, you are right but i am not that proud of the pictures I have (I post them any way). These pictures are those of the auction house where I purchased the tsuba and as soon as I receive it , I'll provide better ones (ones the Tsuba will be cleaned gently). Thank you for your feed-backs
-
Hi , Can someone one give me clues on the fact that this signature might not be Gimei? If the signature is genuine can it be Hamano Noriyuki I or Noriyuki II? Thank you for your advise and expertise

Dear Japanese fans, can you help me in translating the 3 kanjis on this Kozuka ? The blade and the kozuka are one piece ! ! ! Does any one has similar kozukas ? Thank you
-
Thomas, John. Thank you for Your answers. In fact i totally forgot That Tampa mighty have an impact. Thank you again.

Hello, I probably should have posted this on the "translation assistance " ? Nobody can confirm the signature? "A l'aide", "Help" , "Hilfe", "Securo" !!!!!

Typing on Google: Nihonto + Seattle, I got this post from 2011.... I'll fly from Europe to Seattle by next April and I am keen to discover a new Nihonto world :D . Does someone had time during those 3 last years to collect information on dealers, museums, in Seattle? Thank you
-
Hello, another tsuba i just purchased. Kanjis in signature look like being KIYO (Kei?) HARU + Kakihan. But I do not see any Kiyo Haru with such kanjis in Haynes nor in Shosankenshu or in Markus Sesko's Genealogy. Does someone has ideas on school ? Thank you for help.
-
Chris, sorry for being so ignorant but can you precise your views? I have heard that Tsuba with signature at this place where Kenjo Tsuba ? Is it true ? Thank you in advance for your knowledge on this topic.
-
Pete, Haynes states that YUKINORI 12452 died circa 1700 / 1750. My Tsuba looks much more about 1850. The signature from shinsen Kinko Meikan looks effectively more similar and correspond to Chris translation
