On Hold

An attractive iron mokume tsuba signed 江府住 正長 (Kōfu-jū Masanaga), Masanaga from the Kōfu region (modern-day Yamanashi Prefecture, just west of Tokyo). The signature is confidently and nicely cut. Despite some minor surface pitting, the tsuba displays a rich chocolate-brown patina and a fine layered steel. The piece has been only lightly coated with Chōji oil. With a careful cleaning using antler or ivory, I believe the surface could be further refined. 220 euros + shipping (can be shipped from Europe in between the 10 and the 15 november ; or from Japan) Kiri box included
