school?

[John A Stuart]

Hi Guys, I wonder to what school this copper tsuba may belong? I am of the mind it may be of the Touryusai school. Otherwise it may be Aizu Shoami. Opinion? John

I am having trouble reading the description; but do I see Bushu in there? John

There is no Bushu on the paper.

The specific description seems to be as follows;

 

山水蛇籠図鐔

銘 正次

竪丸形 山金石目地 鋤下彫

金銀色絵 両櫃孔 鋤残耳

 

The mei is Masatsugu.

Thanks, Much easier to read now. Just descriptive of material and theme. I see now that that is some sort of rice basket, or at least I think it says that. Too bad no school attributed. John

That is not a rice basket.

蛇籠 (Jakago) means a gabion.

Oh, for fishing in this case or retaing river banks. I put the rice grain with it and thought basket. Makes sense, thanks again. John
