pcfarrar Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 Hi, Does anyone have any ideas for age/school/design on this sukashi tsuba: Thanks, Peter Quote
Martin Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Peter, a Tsuba of similar design was discussed some time ago: http://www.militaria.co.za/nihontomessa ... php?t=1305 It can either be a spool/spindle or Mon. And some similar designs on some other websites: http://www.e-sword.jp/sale/0610_6083syousai.htm http://www.nihontocraft.com/Owari_Mon.html Maybe this helps... cheers, Quote
pcfarrar Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Martin, Thanks, sorry hadn't spotted that post. Mine is very similar to the one on e-sword.jp so I guess mine is also Shoami? Thanks, Peter Quote
Martin Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 Peter, I think this design was also used by the Owari school (see the second link to Danny´s site) - but if there´s no Tekkotsu on the rim and due to the similarity to the piece on e-swords - I would also tend to Shoami. Though yours is in better condition I suppose. Just my 2 Cents - let´s see what others say... cheers, Quote
