Nunome zogan, interesting technique! Thx to all of you
-
I will look it up. Thx Geraint!
-
Adding 2 magnified images:
-
Could't find a similar tsuba. Are the left and right openings hitsu-ana? Dimensions: 82,0 x 82,7 x 5,0 / 4,2 cm (at the rim) Iron with remnants of silver (?) and gold (?). Any comment is welcome Greetings, Yves.
-
I just looked it up in "LE PETIT HARA" by Robert Harawoy. Not sure if it's the same person.
-
I own a kagamibuta by Chōmin. Same signature. See left one in link below, sold at Bonhams in 2008. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/16023/lot/452/?category=list
-
And YES! I found another "Efu ju Masayoshi" on the internet (see picture) with the same measures as mine: H: 7,65 cm - L: 7,23 cm (coincidence?). So, it can be the maker of my tsuba... ... until somebody else comes with another idea Thanks to all
-
Thank you Michael. I thought my search was over for this tsuba. Looking up Masayoshi now.
-
Thank you John. The '...yuki' on my tsuba is not very readable. But with your information I can almost be sure of it. It seems that the mei-writers on tsuba are not always the same... Yours sincerely, Yves.
-
Possibly another tsuba by Masa...yuki (?) Very fluent shallow 'writing' on this one.
-
Cher Patrice, I wouldn't know, I bought them at an auction like this. But the marks on the most of them let me think your way.
-
The answer about the 'mei' is here: http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/29155-kozuka-mei-mitsu/?do=findComment&comment=295734 And now... some more information on the artist?
-
Waw... Kojo has a "doctor's handwriting" as they call it in Belgium Morita-sensei.
-
Some members were already very helpful in the topic http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/22511-just-acquired/?do=findComment&comment=295722 Any other suggestions for this mei? Thanks!
-
Patrice, On your request, the back sides (in same order as the first picture above). The signed one is the second from the left.
-
Thx Jean
-
Jean, I just looked into 'Le petit Hara' (Robert Harawoy). There are more than 100 Mitsu... And no second kanji like the one on the kozuka
-
Jean, I read the first kanji as KŌ - or hika(ru) - as in nikkō , gekkō , ... (Kanji 1358 in the Nelson dictionary). I did't find the second one for the moment. Thanks for your reply!
-
Put my new glasses on, and... Found a signature on the side of the kozuka with the fan-mask-box! Strange place to put a mei.
-
Hello Stephane, C'est noté. But the first tsuba I sell is still to come Best regards, Yves.
-
Hello Stephane, I'm only a little collector. I'm not selling any of my Japanese things. But I'm happy with your demand. It means that it's a good tsuba. Kind regards, Yves.
-
Thanks Steven. I first thought is was a rat or mouse, but with a big tail that couldn't be... I just looked up the story of the Badger tea kettle and that's it! Thanks again!
-
Thanks for the replies. I'll need to make some more time for research / reading in this matter
-
Thanks for your replies. I'll have to look deeper into Choshu / Bushu.
-
