Daisho Tsuba By Hamano Naotoshi ...

I wonder how many of our older NMB members remember this beautiful daishō pair of tsuba, purchased from ebay in 2007.  Rendered in hiiro-do, each features a bat, depicted in high relief shakudō, with tiny, inlaid golden eyes.  The reverse is a continuation of the textured, stone cave theme.  Both tsuba are inscribed NAOTOSHI (H 06821.0), with the left angulation of the final stroke of the 'toshi' kanji that is a characteristic of the Hamano artist.  The dai tsuba measures 6.9 cm - 6.8 cm, the shō tsuba 6.8 cm - 6.5 cm.

 

They are presented in a custom made kiri box with a hakogaki 'Hamano Naotoshi hiiro-do colour tsuba'.

 

 

Hamano Naotoshi was a student of H. Naoyuki, and worked in Edo ca 1850.
