  1. Hello, I would like to ask for help in understanding what features will help me understand if this is Kanayama or Ko-shoami tsuba? Please note that I'm a beginner. I will be happy for any tip. Dimensions: mm: 76,5 x 76 x 5,0 (mimi: 5,7), Ts626391
  2. Understand. This tsuba is free of similar stains as resin ect. Slight signs of red rust appeared quite quickly when I kept it on the wall.
  3. Yes, you can see imperfect places. it is obvious. Maybe too obvious... I have to add that both of these tsuba were bought from different sellers in different cities (Japan). BTW I feel sorry for you buying a frankenstein tsuba, I understand that it was a big trauma for you since you still remember it and remember it today. Do you have a picture of your frankenstein for my photo collection ;). Let;s have fun!
  4. Didn't we talk about a month ago via messenger (FB) about the tsuba attached?
  5. Hello, For some time I have been focusing on iron tsuba, looking for items older than mid Edo. Here are a few of them. Your clues as to the school and the probable age of the individual objects will be helpful in my research. I will be able to confirm or revise my assumptions. I'm a beginner and I'm learning, please bear with me. Thanks a lot... 1. 2. 3. 4.
  6. Hello, after a long break. I found some time to enjoy my hobbies. I dug up some interesting items and here is one of them. Due to my interests in the subject of tsukamaki, I am looking for various unusual items related to it. 2 or 3 years earlier, I came across a rather unusual set of fuchi kashira. Something very special in my opinion. At first glance, it's just fuchi kashira of suaka. In real, it was made of urushi and tonoko on copper base. Beautiful lacquered mon and stamps. Due to the low utility value, it was made to show skill or as a gift. Have you come across any other handle fittings of this type? Any hints? Happy Christmas.
  7. Hello, First I did wrong. Ura Menuki installed 4 hishi before kashira. I corrected - I installed 2 hishi before kashira. I wanted to not cover the fusahimo braid on the Menuki ura. Wide diamonds to show the large samegawa grain. Soon I will show all koshirae with this tsuka. Take care! Shellfish lacquered stipes - new technique recognizing.
  8. Hello, I have completed the koshirae project. The first time I was wrapping a curved and rounded saya - naginata shape. It was an interesting experience. Working with samegawa is done after it gets wet and you need to know the drying and shrinking time of the skin to do this. What was new to me in this project were: - new shape of the seppa rim, - leveling the braid on the sides of the tsuka - jabaraito katatemaki, so that the attached tsukaito strips on tsuka ura are not visible - tsunagi - first job. Saya and tsuka was made of Ho wood, tsunagi - alder wood. I still need more practice with wood work, have to buy more tools Thanks for watching. Best
  9. Of course, I understand and I did not want to offend anyone, I took it seriously but also fun at the same time. I keep my distance from comments and I didn't expect tsuba to be ok. I also wanted to understand a bit why someone broke a pretty nice tsuba, as Vajo noticed.
  10. I am very beginner. The longer I am interested, the less I know. I spend most of my time learning koshirae techniques, so forgive my immaturity in the topic of tsuba. Thanks a lot for Your opinion.
  11. Thank you for your opinion on such an expert level. I didn't imagine it was a forum for painters. No offense. We're having fun...
  12. Hello, I would like to ask experienced colleagues for a general opinion on this tsuba. It is known that the photos do not reflect the full feeling. Could this be an authentic Hamano Tsuba? I received several negative votes. The argument: "You didn't pay 10K for this". Anyway, I like it. Please click the photo for more HD pictures.
  13. Brian, I'd really like to try my hand at it. This year, unfortunately, I had too many personal problems to worry about and my right arm stopped working for 3-4 months. The second thing is that I'm a bit limited by not knowing how to go about it. I will complete my current projects and spend more time on this. I will definitely turn to you for tips / help. I will be obligated for your help.
  14. Gentleman's, thank you so much for your kind words. It really motivates me.
  15. Hello, I wanted to show the last project. The order was for tsukamaki. However, after unwrapping the old braid, SAME was found to be in poor condition. I peeled off and cleaned SAME and then stained it using the traditional method. It was not the end of worries. The new fuchi and kashira needed a new spigot to make the fitter solid. On this occasion, I tried a new way to integrate new wood into the current wood. The wedge-shaped and additional 2 pins for this work gave a good effect. It shouldn't fall apart. Previously, I made flat inserts with 2 pins but I believe that the wedge will hold better if the tsuka was to be used for training. About tsukamaki. I learn something new every time. Currently, I plan to focus even more on shaping the washi paper under the braid. I believe my next tsuka will be even better. Thank You for watching.

  16. Hello, I enclose a link to my fuchi photos. It would be nice to find a good kashira match. https://www.flickr.com/photos/189643573@N05/albums/72157716713521893
