    Hi, could l have a confirmation of this mei please? It's in 2 parts. The previous owner thought it was Myochin but this version is not in my references. Thankyou.

    Although l already posted once, l thought it rude not to do an introduction. I live in the UK and have been collecting tsuba for 7 years. Previous to this l collected jutte and related items. I have one sword blade which was a tachi converted to a walking cane. I joined this group due to the knowledge herein, which l discovered after Googling various terms. I aim to contribute to other members posts as much as l can.

    The photo l need to load is too large. The form only allows file size of 2.9 GB or less. Any ideas please on how to reduce the size. The photos are from my phone. I have used the editor option but cropping and converting to monochrome doesn't reduce file size sufficiently. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Curran, thanks for your information . The dealer who sold the tsuba stated Robert Haynes considered it to be Ko-Shoami. I am aware Owari and Ono were the main areas/schools of manufacture. I am happy the design is Yagua influenced. One detail not clear in my photo are prominent iron bones.

    Thank for the reply Spartancrest and the link. Interesting point, l hadn't paid much attention. I assumed the 'balls' were something's soft that's been compressed and the edges were because of the joints. But yes hexagonal could be feasible.

    Hi Group, my first post. What could this subject be please? There are similar designs in Haynes Catalogue nos 9 ; 1 from the Yagua Tsuba design book and another of an actual tsuba. Neither feature the crossed strands. In hand some of the strands appear to represent cord or rope. I will try adding additional photos from the Haynes Catalogue. Thanks in advance.
