Jiro49 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 I just bought a tanto and it is on its way but I cant figure the first kanji and the kao.. Anyone? Thanks in advance for your help! Quote
ROKUJURO Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 I just bought a tanto ..... From the distance it looks more like a TSUBA for a YOROIDOSHI. Quote
Jiro49 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Posted October 1, 2012 You are correct.. Isn't a yoroi doshi a tanto as well? Quote
Jiro49 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Posted October 2, 2012 Thank you kunitaro-sama! I was right but I doubted myself... Respectfully, Quote
Curran Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Sei ichi died c.1875-1900 Haynes 08050.0 Student of Goto Seii H08047 Seii was a student of Goto Seijo school. Nice little tanto tsuba probably made for one of those yoroi doshi which were in vogue c. 1855 to 1870. Quote
Jiro49 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Posted October 2, 2012 Thank you for the additional information! It's mounted on a sue bitchu aoe yoroi doshi. Respectfully, Quote
Curran Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Hmmm. PM me photos of the koshirae if you feel you have the time. I enjoy yoroi doshi koshirae. But many of them w/ koshirae are shinshinto. Sounds like yours might be a bit different. Quote
Jiro49 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Posted October 2, 2012 Just arrived today.. Here is a pic of the koshirae, it was mounted as a wakizashi. Regards, Quote
