A gentle member notice me I replied on a wrong topic. So I repost these tsuba in the good topic
-
Hello, Nice tsuba and nice pics ! Not sure it is Jakushi due to the shape of your tsuba and the shape of the hitsu ana. Usually Jakushi are maru or nagamaru gata. Moreover the quality seems better that usual Jakushi. However, I have no clue of what it could be. Maybe Shoami ? And of course I could be wrong Regards

Did anybody buy anything from this auction?
Gunome replied to Surfson's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Regarding the lot 74, there not only Natsuo. Look at the one on the left, it is signed Goto Ichijo. I don't know if mei is good, but it don't seems odd to me and I know ichijo did some kozuka with this kind of patern. -
Hello, N°4 : Choshu tomohisa
-
Thanks for the update. The new look is very nice ! Well done !
-
Hello Bruno. Indeed same splitted bamboo and dragon pattern. This Choshu tsuba is far better than mine ! Thanks, I will look on choshu then.

Hello, Nice tsuba. In my opinion, based on the patern and workmaship, it is an Akasaka. Not sure it is worth to send to shinsa to still have an Akasaka attribution, and just change the color of the paper. For kantei points: the round mimi, the shape of the seppa dai and the sukashi technic. And problably other kantei points that more knowledgable will complete

Here is mine, on a Bizen shinto wakizashi
-
Only one reply. Well, seems I am not alone to be puzzled by an attribution to this one
-
Very nice tsuba. I would go on Goto school for this one
-
Hello Ken, Thanks for your reply. I don't think it could be Akasaka as the dragon are carved in 3D. For Owari I don't know, I will look into this direction. thanks

Hello, I would like to know your opinion about of this tsuba and a possible school. By default I would said Shoami, but I am not totally satisfy with this attribution. Tsuba is quite thick and mimi is rounded. Iron is not very dense. The disign is 2 dragons Thanks

Hello, It is a Mino goto set

Happy Birthday

Congrat for your very nice tsuba collection ! A lot of them are very desirable
-
Could it be a Hayashi 3rd generation ?
-
Hello, Maybe Kinai, but it would be an atypical work ?!
-
For me it is typical guri bori because of the technic : the plate with several layer of copper/shakudo then carved with a kind of triple "S" that is quite typic also from Guri bori school.
-
For me it is guri bori. What elements lead you to Umedata School ?
-
Nice tsuba. Dale, for the missing inlay, it may be flowers, like the ones on the other side ?
-
Hello, For me it is a sentoku tsuba that has been cleaned. White of first picture are the remains of the cleaning product. These kinds of products could remove plated gold.
