Kinko Tsuba Description


Ron STL

Recommended Posts

The left column is:

雷神図  鐔  真鋳地  撫角形  高彫象嵌
Tsuba with a picture of god of thunder (kaminari kami zu), made of shinchu, rounded square shape (nadekaku gata), inlay with high relief carving (takabori zogan)
 
- nothing about the maker, unfortunately...

I can make no firm attribution for Ron's tsuba, but the kao bears a marked resemblance to those illustrated on pp.Y7 and Y10 of Joly's Shosankenshu.  While I am not suggesting Yasuchika 1 as the maker of this tsuba, the combination here of late Mito and Edo kinkō styles is suggestive of later Tsuchiya work.
