LGMartialArts Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 I recently ordered a mumei ajiro tsuba from http://www.aoijapan.com/tsuba-ajiro-pattern. All comments welcome. Quote
ancientnoob Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 I am new and I like it. The shape and pattern are appealing but I most like the work done on the edge. Kudos. I can offer no info and no educated comment so I default to a... Quote
John A Stuart Posted May 26, 2014 Report Posted May 26, 2014 I like the 網代 wickerwork pattern. John Quote
LGMartialArts Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Posted May 27, 2014 I like the 網代 wickerwork pattern. John Yeah, so do I... one of the main reasons I decided to get it. :D Quote
Antti Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 I liked it! Attractive tsuba and something you dont run into every day. Enjoy it! Quote
LGMartialArts Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Posted June 15, 2014 Thanks! It arrived a couple weeks ago, and have been very impressed with it. The pictures on aoijapan are very accurate. Quote
Ford Hallam Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Decent piece of work with a fair bit to enjoy. I'd suggest Bushu, mid to late 19th cent. Quote
Gabriel L Posted June 17, 2014 Report Posted June 17, 2014 One of my favorite motifs (and done well here), though I only learned of it fairly recently. Quote
LGMartialArts Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Posted June 19, 2014 Decent piece of work with a fair bit to enjoy. I'd suggest Bushu, mid to late 19th cent. Thanks for the help... I've looked around on the internet, and have only seen one other Bushu tsuba with basket weave, and it was on this forum! Anyway, I guess I need to get some books on tsubas and Japanese nihonto.
