Jean Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Are wooden tsuba often encountered on unchigatana koshirae? Quote
Pete Klein Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Seems to be a bit of a knotty problem... Jean -- I have heard of them but rarely found and I would think they would be a bit impracticable . The chance of breakage would be too great. Guido would know more on this. Quote
rkg Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 I've seen a surprising number of them show up on Yahoo Japan lately FWIW. Best, rkg Quote
Jean Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks for your answers; I knew of leather ones but not of wooden ones. I asked the question because in the translation section I posted the papered koshirae of my last blade which has a wooden tsuba. Quote
Kronos Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 There's 2 that went for sale at christies years ago for insane prices (£10k-ish iirc) other than that I can't seem to find any information on them :/ Quote
