Ken-Hawaii Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I like your wood pattern, too, Dwayne, & I have a somewhat similar one: 1 Quote
O-Midare Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 That's nice Ken, I just love the natural wood grain that these artists can create from steel, thank you for sharing. Quote
Steves87 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 Not sure how we define high class,I was wondering this myself... great examples in this thread, makes me uneasy posting any of my own collection Quote
Ed Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 If you like mokume, this is still one of my favorites after 20 years of ownership. The tsuba is made from Nanban Tetsu. Dated 1793. 81 x 76 x 5.5mm Inscription: Obverse: Omi no Kami Tusguhide Motte Nanban Tetsu. Reverse: Oite Bushu Edo Saku Kore, Kansai 5 Toshi 8 Quote

My face is a shade of green... Is it part of a koshirae?? If so, what's the blade?? BaZZa. Quote
Ed Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 Bazza, No, not part of a koshirae. Forgot to add the tsuba received Tokubetsu Hozon Kanteisho. 4 Quote

Ed Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 Barry, That is the one I won with the lucky nickel you gave me in Tampa a few years ago. Quote
b.hennick Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 Glad it is in a good home. I too collect mokume tsuba. 2 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted October 16, 2019 Report Posted October 16, 2019 That's incredibly 3-dimensional, Ed. Two great tsuba! 1 Quote
Japan2112 Posted November 6, 2019 Report Posted November 6, 2019 I like this set of menuki, and its theme - Yanagawa Naotoki 柳川直時 signed kibata mei. 5 Quote
rkg Posted November 6, 2019 Report Posted November 6, 2019 This may be marginal to go here as I think I've posted a couple of them in the past, but I've been working on a series of images of my pieces to use on t-shirts - most of these are pretty good, or at least photogenic: Best, rkg (Richard George) 5 Quote
Pete Klein Posted November 6, 2019 Report Posted November 6, 2019 So, Richard -- do you still have, 'the box'??? Quote

Brian Posted November 6, 2019 Report Posted November 6, 2019 Rich,Please do consider a post in the Izakaya with full details on the shirts.I saw a bit about it on FB. They look stunning, although please consider some with a small tsuba on the left breast pocket instead of a large centered one. Subtle, but a statement.Good luck with them. 5 Quote
rkg Posted November 9, 2019 Report Posted November 9, 2019 Pete, It took me a while to realize you were talking about the "lizard box" from that Ko shoami piece - Yeah... I still got it :-) rkg So, Richard -- do you still have, 'the box'??? 1 Quote
Ed Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 Third and final Mokume Tsuba by Tsuguhide. 7 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 That's very cool, Ed! If you ever put it up for sale, please let me know. I love mokume! Quote
Ed Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 Ken, I was pretty lucky for three mokume tsuba by the same smith to find me. No plans to sell at this time. Quote
