Gordon Sanders Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Posted January 6, 2016 Thank you very much! Yes, I am looking for more of a round tsuba, with the waves or clouds, and a dragon.. in a Goto style Quote
Gordon Sanders Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Posted January 6, 2016 is there a better place to post this? Quote
Greg F Posted January 7, 2016 Report Posted January 7, 2016 Ive some nice daisho with matching tsuba apart from shape. If the theme and or s hool match i think mokko is ok with round tsuba. If you had one that was the same apart from shape it may be an option. My preferred tsuba shape is mokko, i like the one in Stephens link. Will keep an eye out. Greg Quote
Gordon Sanders Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks. L it doesn't have to be round I think... But would love for it to be wakizashi size and have similar look and feel. It is going on a nice kinmichi yushuto blade Full Daisho set. And existing tsuba that I hope to replace before says and tsuka are built https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0S5qXGF1utDtV Quote

Stephen Posted January 9, 2016 Report Posted January 9, 2016 http://tetsugendo.com/ Very nice Daisho set of shakudo sukashi tsubas. Shakudo tsubas are usually a sign of a top grade maker as shakudo was once considered more expensive than gold. This set is deftly carved out of a solid plate showing the skill of the artist. The design is pierced all the way through and must have taken quite a while to carve these 2 tsuba. The Dragon and waves are accented by gold and silver .The tongue of the dragons is done in red copper. The design of the dragon among the waves is popular among the samurai. The power felt by the dragon swimming through the waves embodies the idea that the strong can endure anything in life. All in all a very nice set for a great Daisho mount, or for enjoyment on their own. 1800’s Unsigned Dai – 7.4 cm x 6.9 cm x 5.6 mm Sho – 7 cm x 6.5 cm x 4.3mm $4250 1 Quote
Gordon Sanders Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Posted January 11, 2016 Those both are beautiful. But I was hoping to match the existing one I had shown above Thanks for the help so far. Genuinely! Quote
Gordon Sanders Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Posted January 13, 2016 Bumping and hoping to find one more similar to the one I own in the top post Quote
Stephen Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 have you considered adding a gold mimi to the large tsuba? Im sure Ford san could do that, or really go full hog and have him make a sho of the dragon dai 1 Quote
Stephen Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 http://www.katana-hattori.com/tsuba/doragnwave.html same same, only the size?? 1 Quote
Gordon Sanders Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 Wow. Thanks very much. It appears that it is its twin for certain Does anyone know the dealer? Quote
Gordon Sanders Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 Does it seem pricey? I paid a bit less for mine without papers. Has papers now though (mino-goto) $580 -- Very fine l shakudo Tsuba depicting a dragon in the waves . Size : 7.6 cm / 7.2 cm Age: Edo period Good condition with only minor abrasions Quote
Shogun8 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Posted February 14, 2016 Wow, good find Stephen! Can't believe that such a great match was found so quickly. 1 Quote
