boydie4207 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the style and period of this tsuba or a possible maker I have no real knowledge on tsuba or fittings any help would be very much appreciated regards Robert Boyd Quote
Grey Doffin Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Must be a Ninja tsuba, or maybe you forgot to add a picture. Grey Quote
Gunome Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 hello, May a photo can help identify it Quote
boydie4207 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Posted October 21, 2013 lol :lol: forgot to attach now attached to post sorry Quote
Marius Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Robert, maker? Some late Edo tsubako. This is one of those nondescript tsuba which were produced in large quantities. Attributing to any school or maker is nearly impossible. Genuine, but not particularly good. Bad condition, too. Sorry Quote
boydie4207 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks Marius I know it's in rough shape it was just one that came with a deal I got I have another few tsuba that I have no real knowledge on again not my strong point would I be able to pm you some pictures to ask your opinion on them to save multiple posts Quote
christianmalterre Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Oh dear mine Gentlemen, ???? maybe some help in at least identifying it´s stylism? Do give Robert an chance least! (without seeing it in hands or high-res.) Me do say-close to Fushimi Yamashiro province-and i do really do ask mineself.... Christian Edit: close Mariusz !-very close ! Quote
Marius Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Me do say-close to Fushimi Yamashiro province-and i do really do ask mineself.... Oh dear, Chris :-) Yes, "Kaneie" will always pop out in such tsuba :D As will "Nobuie" in a mokko tsuba with a turtle-shell carved surface Robert needs to get some basic knowledge about tsuba - perhaps "Tsuba. An aesthetic study" by Torigoye/Haynes would be a good point to start? A good and cheap book. Quote
christianmalterre Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 in matter of fairness,i think, we had to add, it´s certainly an matter of inquiery.... Do keep it!-It´s nice!-It´s good-it´s certainly worth to study. ( )(mine very personal thought) Christian Quote
Marius Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Robert, sell it, buy some books :-) Quote
boydie4207 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Posted October 21, 2013 cheers guys for the help i'll pick up some books on tsuba and fittings got a few books on the swords and blades but none individually suited to tosogu I have a collection of a few that I have came across fairly cheaply I never started collecting tsuba I just cant stop them from appearing lol maybe there telling me something thanks again for the info regards Robert B Quote
boydie4207 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Posted October 21, 2013 if I was to sell this on what would be a fair asking price I have no real idea on how to price tsuba Quote
christianmalterre Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 Mariusz, now i really do get puzzeled so far... You do recommend this book mentioned? Hmmmh? far better would be,so far, so to inquire directly on jap.editions-Not ? Markus(who minutiously does transfer) did publish some intriguing publications in past-(did such)much more accurate than reading publications in an niveaux of 25-45 years past... TB´s got "crowded" in lattest time,too.... Certain controversity here?(of course)(me,but do not think) rather just llike it did since ever -Not? comming back but to this Tsuba-Me, for mine part,certainly do like it! It does remind me strong to Fushimi Yamashiro school-and it´s very certainly an very distinct done work. Much,very much(!) better than those dozend other ones.... The artist(whomever) did exactly know about what he did here-least visible. Christian Quote
