Tsuba with Coral inlays

[Kurikata]

Hi,

 

I just purchased this Tsuba representing camelia flowers in silver with coral inlays. Tsuba is in shakudo with a nanako mimi. Plate of tsuba is in ishime. Size is 6 cm X 5.6 cm

 

I search in NMB posts and found a similar F/K:

Does someone know a school doing such coral inlays ?

 

Thank you

Very nice Bruno.

 

Have a look at Dale's second fuchi on this page:

Hi Bruno,

 

Wow, I just got mine out, and looked at them close.

They look like they could have been made by the same guy. Or at least the same house.

I have thought about restoring mine. I have found the right coral.

Haven't been brave enough, or had the time to try it yet.

They are very pretty. Your tsuba looks great!!!

Thank you Mark,

 

I saw your F/K before posting my Tsuba as Tososgu with corals are quite rare. It is for sure same Workshop. I am more doubtful regarding the artist as my Tsuba is with nanako when yours are with flat surface. Same style , probably same school bur what about the artist ?

 

Best regards
