  1. 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, Maybe Kinai, but it would be an atypical work ?!
  7. 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.
  8. For me it is guri bori. What elements lead you to Umedata School ?
  9. Nice tsuba. Dale, for the missing inlay, it may be flowers, like the ones on the other side ?

    Hello, Yes, it is a tempo tsuba
  11. 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.
  12. Hello, n° 2 is signed Iwamoto Ryokan 岩本良寛 last one 鈴木容光 Suzuki Katamitsu
  13. Hello, Probably this one for me. a Ko-katchushi tsuba for a tanto. Kiri mon must be a later addition.

    Mitsuoki tsuba

    Hello Ford My first thought was Choshu. Could it be a possibility ? if not, what are the criteria that disqualifies Choshu ? Thanks
  15. Hello Dale, By chance do you have the link of the PDF you are refering to ?
  16. Hello, what Mauro said + the iron texture & carving style
  17. I also have this one for those who love night scènes
  18. Thanks for the info on my print. It is signed Hiroshige. I did some research some years ago about it as far as I remember it could be attributed to a later Hiroshige generation: 4th. Here 2 others prints for comparison
  19. Hello, Here are my prints. The fuji san from Kaiseki is one of my favorite.
  20. I think there was a rim that was removed. Look at the legs, we still see a part of it
  21. Hello It is obvious the fuchi is in shibuishi and the kashira in shakudo. Based on that I thinks it is quite Strange that a "matching set" don't use the same materials ! Also, look at the eyes on both. Not the same technic used. So, for me it same the Octopus theme, but not a Matching set / not the same maker.

    We are early April. A "spring tsuba" with the birds
