Robert Housley Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 I saw this tsuba and was going to bid on it for my Katana, but then saw that it is for wakizashi. I hope it is okay to mention it here. I have seen comments about cats being rare themes. It is listed as Edo. Robert H. I will not post the pic because I believe it against the rules? Robert H. Quote

Nickupero Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 Typed in "cat Tsuba" and got this, for a Wakizashi. I imagine this is what you're talking about. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Japanese-Tsuba-Cat-/291071770345?pt=Asian_Antiques&hash=item43c53abee9 Quote
Robert Housley Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Posted February 8, 2014 That is the one. wasn't sure about posting because it was an active auction. Kind of makes me want to buy a wak, but where would I find a match for my katana... Robert H. Quote
Nickupero Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 Robert, many of the members here follow these items on eBay regularly... so it was most likely seen and judged by many so far. Interesting iron work indeed, not a fan of how the cat design was executed. Just my opinion Good luck bidding if thats what you intend to do! Quote
Teimei Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 It looks okay... But i would not spend too much money for it. Good luck bidding for it! Quote
Brian Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 Unlike most forums, we allow posting of active auctions, as long as the post avoids the pricing issue. Educational discussion only. I have no problem discussing the theme or workmanship. Brian Quote
