Hi,
I need another help.
I think the two first Kanji read NAGA TOSHI (please be kind enough to confirm). But what is the third one ?
This fence-shaped kanji is an enigma to me.
Thank you all
Hi,
I have recently purchased this kozuka with no mention of school or tsubako. It is mumei.
My guess is that it could be of the Ishiguro school.
What are your views?
Thank you
Hi NMB friends,
I was wandering is someone has the sales price list of the 3 Christie's auction of the Compton collection (1992) ? I would be interested in getting a copy.
Thank you
Bruno
Thank you John and Piers for your mei confirmation.
Under reference H 10427 Haynes lists a Fukuda Toshimasa born in 1843 and who was still working in 1887.
Dear all,
I am the new owner of this omodaka tsuba sold by Vitaly. It has suffured a lot that's not the question. Definitivly it is an end of Edo tsuba, not cast, having suffured from fire and restaured with a fukurin to reinforce the mimi. It makes me think of kintsugi consisting in reparing with gold lacquer precious poteries.
I like it very much!
