Tokei Tsuba

[Henry Wilson]

Richard T passed this link my way as I expressed an interest in such tsuba a few days ago.

 

Can any one give me a break down of the papers?

 

Also the price seems a bit high. Would anyone agree with me?

for this type of tsuba providing the quality is there I think Henry, see Ginzaseikodo http://ginzaseikodo.com/tousougu.html

for an almost 1 million yen tsuba.

 

In regards to the papers, I see

 

Kanteisho

Motif ( ? ) Sukashi Tsuba

Mumei Kaneyama Edo Shoki.

Kiku ? Mokko Gata

? Tsuchime Ji

Koniku-kakumimi

Hozon tosogu

 

I have not got the rest yet sorry.

 

Cheers
