tony edmunds Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 Hi Guys I've recently shown this little tanto tsuba to a fellow collector and there ensued a discussion over Goto school Tsuba and signatures. Any opinions, thoughts would be welcome. Regards Tony Quote
Marius Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 Not nearly the quality, sorry. Not everything with nanako is Goto, BTW. Goto work has excellent nanako. On the topic of nanako - here are two threads: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15691&hilit=nanako viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12854 Quote
tony edmunds Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 I always thought this was a decent quality Kyoto kinko tsuba, not least because that was where I bought it! I had no pretensions to Goto but I did wonder if all Goto tsuba were signed. Tony Quote
Pete Klein Posted May 27, 2013 Report Posted May 27, 2013 Some were sgned, some not. Here is a link to an interesting mumei piece: http://nihonto.us/DUCK%20&%20RABBIT%20TSUBA.htm Here is a tsuba by mainline Goto Sokujo, eighth master: Quote
