CSM101 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Posted July 17, 2013 Hello, I just wanted to know, if these scratches are really "Hachiman" or are these just scratches. Thank you Uwe G. Quote
CSM101 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Posted July 17, 2013 That was very fast. Thank you! Uwe G. Quote
Brian Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Wow...interesting tsuba. A LOT of work went into that inlay. Brian Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted July 18, 2013 Report Posted July 18, 2013 Good evening all, Here is a link to a Tsuba on Tsuruta san's site. http://www.aoijapan.com/tsuba-mumei-uns ... a-zu-tsuba Cheers Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Yes, wonderful quality. Here are two Yoshiro from old books. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 Not in the same category or the same quality, but would this one qualify for the Y of Yoshiro at least? Crumbs from the Yoshiro table? Or is it some other school or area? Quote
CSM101 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Posted July 19, 2013 This was just a more or less failed photographic experiment. I will get the tsuba again in my hands and then I hope I can make some more detailed photos. Uwe G. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Uwe. A friend was attending the sword conference in Miyagi over the weekend and seeing a Yoshiro tsuba there he asked the 'experts' around the table if Yoshiro were ever signed 'Hachiman'. "Yes, they were." "What would it mean?" he asked. "Rather like Tenka Ichi. An expression of conviction as to being the best under the sun," the gentleman explained. Quote
John A Stuart Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Found on many kagami, Tenka Ichi. John Quote
