svarsh Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Anyone could please help me with the signature and motif? Thanks in advance. Sergei Quote
cabowen Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 I believe the signature is Kuninaga. Not sure about the motif. Quote
svarsh Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Posted July 31, 2014 Thank you, Chris! Any idea of what is the motif? Someone told me that it is an origami crane, however this does not explain why mokume technique was used, if it intended to represent paper and not wood... s Quote
Ian B3HR2UH Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Hi Sergei, all of Kuninagas tsuba have this mokume finish so it isn't meant to depict wood. From memory Nihonto Koza says that he was a samurai who made tsuba . Ian Brooks Quote
