Marius Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Huge tosho tsuba A magnificent, very very large and ubu tosho tsuba. Made of iron in mokko shape and fitted with a yamagane rope fukurin this tsuba has a truly imposing presence. The patina is a deep brown and there are remnants of black lacquer. The only decoration of this tsuba is a carved inscription that has been highlighted with red lacquer: Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō - "Glory to the Sutra of the Lotus of the Supreme Law", which is a mantra of the Nichiren sect. Length : 10.02 cm x 9.60 cm, 0.25 cm at seppa-dai and 0.47 at rim. Momoyama/early Edo period $1500 plus shipping and PayPal. Reasonable (short) payment plan possible. PS. I won't offer this one for long, as it is pretty unique. So, if you like it, you should not hesitate. You know, take tarts ... I have posted a picture with two "normal size" tsuba, one of which is actually also quite big at >8 cm. You can see how huge the tosho is in comparison. (The two other tsuba are not included, sorry)
Marius Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Posted July 7, 2015 Gentlemen, slashing the price quite aggressively on this one, for the first and last time. If not sold, you won't see it anytime soon. I like this one a lot and will be happy to keep it. $990 incl. shipping. 3 days only, then it is gone.
SwordGuyJoe Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Wow! That's a BIG cut and a great deal. If I weren't gathering cash, I would give this serious consideration!
