Richard Waddell Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Does anyone recognize this Tsuba? It was sold on a site a while back and I am interested in finding the buyer to possibly get a replica made, as this is the exact crane figure for our karate dojo. http://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com/store/holbrook-tsuba/h356-bizen-shoami-tsuba# H356. Iron sukashi tsuba with brass inlaid eyes. 7.8 x 7.9 x .5 cm at the slightly raised rim. Skip’s tag says, “Bizen Shoami, dancing crane, mid Edo.” Heavy, dense plate, subtle tekkotsu on the rim, fine carving, excellent condition: what’s not to like? $650. Quote
