Need reference on a new Tsuba


KORSH

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone.

 

Just received a new sword with mounting. It had this very old Tsuba on it.

As I know very little about Tsuba, I would like to hear your expert opinion.

 

Does anyone have any idea about the style, school or even smith?

Approximate value?

The blade on which the Tsuba was on was made in the late 16th / start 17th century, maybe this can help.

 

:thanks:

Hi Everyone,

 

The first generation Jakushi was a painter who trained in traditional Chinese style painting and later turned to making tsuba often with same Chinese style landscapes. He was located in Hizen Province during the early part of the Edo Period. He used a acid and heat technique along with some inlays to form the designs.

 

 

 

yours truly,

Alex,

this is certainly an early example of this school.

You may do further research...

It´s not like those typical overexaggerated ones you do see in latter Edo.

Whole stylism is rather "naive"-in mine eyes,representing contemporary to 1540´s Myoushinji 妙心寺. Kanou artists...such speaking,most probably 50-80 years later by one of the artists of this group...
