Lukas K Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Lukas, but that kashira matches with that fuchi and tsuba you posted, 3 of them are heianjo school, are they different sizes? Fuchi on the other set in quite small so was looking for some bigger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vajo Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm searching for matching kashira. Tanto fuchi, crane motif. Wakizashi / Katana fuchi, dragon motif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b.hennick Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 The kashira was often made of black horn. You can get a paper for a set that is just a fuchi and a horn kashira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajo Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks Barry for the explanation. But i looks very different and don't fit really together in my eyes. Crane and Dragon is a very common motif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyakkiHei Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Have an orphaned fuchi that I'd like to find a matching kashira to. But also, would like to find out if anyone knows what kind of design this is, since I can't seem to figure out what it's supposed to be. 38mm long 21mm wide hole 28mm x 8mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodenbacher Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Your Fuchi Kashira show ornated roof tiles of a temple or a castle. Just search on Google for "Old Japanese roof tiles" and you will get an idea of their construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babu Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 I have a kashira that's lost its fuchi. It is shabuichi and Shakudo with silver and gold. Identical to the set in the metropolitan museum by Marukawa Hiroyoshi (worked around early 1800's died 1841 or 1842) who worked out of Mito. I am looking for its fuchi or as close as possible or will offer it up to make up your own set. Thank you Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babu Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 A few odd bits and pieces for matching up or trading. First three 1.A kashira on polished chocolate brown shibuichi on which is displayed a group of autumn flowers and leaves in a delicate, low relief incrustsion of shibuichi, Shakudo, silver and several shades of gold. For some reason the shitodome ana have been carefully sealed. 2.A fuchi: on a chocolate brown polished shibuichi is depicted in a delicate low relief, a Dragon amidst styalised waves. It has golden eyes and a golden fang. Inscribed on the tenjō MASACHIKA. Haynes lists 11 artists using these kanji. This one is Bushu Masachika (see Edward wrangham collection tsuba) Bonhams. 3.A polished copper kashira in low relief incrustation are gold hon-zogan diagonals with scattered sakura blossoms, some of which are gold and some Shakudo with a gold centre 19th Century Mito work. If you have a match please PM me and we can decide which way to go. Regards Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babu Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Three more for now. 4.A dark brown shibuichi ishime kashira on which is depicted in a high relief ioroye of shakudo, copper and gold a golden bird perched on an apple tree beneath a copper apple. 19th century Hamano work. 5.A sentoku ishime kashira on both the hira and koshi of which copper, Shakudo and gold sparrows fly over a water scene with kebori water, low relief gold bamboo and sentoku gambions. 19th century Hamano work. 6. A kashira in a dark chocolate brown shibuichi ishime. In an iroye of copper, silver, Shakudo and gold is depicted an oxen cart and accompanying driver beneath a katakiri pine tree. 19th century Hamano work. Happy to make up your set of you make up mine. Or trade. Regards Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babu Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Another orphan looking for either a good quality plain nanako kashira or something with just a little gold on a nanako ground sorry the photos wash out the richness of this item. This is a 19th Century fuchi with slightly raised edges and a good rich dark nanako background and gold fan decorations in finer nanako cartouches.Fairly Good quality work probably Gotō school but unsigned.

Nikanoru Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 On January 6, 2017 I posted here a few orphan fuchi. I sold most of them since I didn't see any point in collecting broken sets. But kept only one example, a signed Furukawa Jochin fuchi with a priest and kids. Only one single piece in my whole collection. Just didn't want to part with it since I very much like the motobori techniques. And finally a couple of months ago while running my daily search I found a kashira, which in my opinion matches the fuchi almost perfectly except maybe the inlay work but in motif for sure. So, meet the new happy couple) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur DrogaMiecza Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hello, I enclose a link to my fuchi photos. It would be nice to find a good kashira match. https://www.flickr.com/photos/189643573@N05/albums/72157716713521893 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
