I have doubts about this tsuba. Iron round plate 79x79 x 3 mm, with gourd sukshi center right side and striped umbrella sukashi on the edge right upper side , hammered surface. I think , that the kozuka hitsu ana is cut larger than the orginal shape and kogai hitsu ana was added later - high density sukashi in the right side. Katchusi or Saotome school , early Edo ? The same theme on Myochin tsuba - late Edo Mikolaj

Hi James please add me to the list. kind regards Mikolaj

Mike, thank you for your opinion,the latest photos 4 and 5 tsuba were scanned. I enclose a photo with the camera.

This is probably Akasaka Tsurumaru tsuba, please help by reading the signature . first kanji is 通 - Michi ? , second ??? Perhaps Michishige Haynes H05059 or H05060 but I'm not sure. Thanks

fourth and fifth , which school and age?

5 more tsuba with brass inlay, two are Heianjo type probably early Edo , first signed Izumi No Kami Koike Naomasa , second signed Yamashiro No Kuni Ju Yoshinaga saku , one - very large - Tenpo style

Several acquisitions sukashi tsuba in the last years .

Thank you David , I thought about Umetada school . I must explain that the tsuba had Tokubetsu Hozon certificate that was lost during shipping. I wonder what features that the tsuba had received a good paper - artist name , school ,age , design or outstanding work ?

This hakogaki was done by Dr. Torigoye in the description of an preEdo period tsuba and signed Saro + "bird" shape kao. I am having trouble translating especially 2,3 and 5 columns. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. 1. 鉄地 tetsu-ji , 鐔 無銘 – Tsuba, Mumei Iron tsuba , unsigned 2. 隅角形 sumi?

First is signed : Tosa Kuni Ju Myochin Ki Toshio - Tosa Myochin school Toshio 利雄 H10535.0 The second is signed : Nisshu Ju Nobuyoshi , Myochin Nobuyoshi 日州住 信吉 probably H07267 or later.

Yes , it can be easy to confuse Akasaka and Tosa Myochin or Myochin. If an unsigned piece. These two pieces look like Akasaka , but they are not...these are signed.

Not Tosa Myochin , rather Hayashi , I think
