Pete Klein Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 I recently acquired this kakejiku and would be very appreciative for a translation of the script. The artist is actually well known to the fittings collectors here. I found this by pure luck. Thank you so much in advance, Pete 1 Quote
k morita Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 Hi, Maybe you already know who wrote it. This scroll was written by Doctor of Literature ,Torigoe Ichitaro. Quote
Pete Klein Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Posted July 5, 2015 Yes Morita san. Aside form the listing title I recognized his seal (shubun). He authored , 'Tsuba Geijutsuko', 'Tsuba Kanshoki', 'Toso Soran' and several other treaties on fittings and swords. The English language book, 'Tsuba an Aesthetic Study' is the translation of 'Tsuba Geijutsuko' in collaboration with his student Robert Haynes. Quote
Pete Klein Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks Barry and thank you very much Morita san. I have saved the translation to file with my images. They are good words indeed. Peter Quote
