christianmalterre Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Posted April 28, 2016 please do not worry about Stephen.... (his house is built!) he just does not know where to put his books and these ugly sharp blades.... some sideviews...(PM me if you do want to see high resolution pictures of course!) nice.... but- NO OWARI! (unfortunately....!!!! DAMM) (so nothing for myself)....(but! for Stephen ) (maybe?) Christian Quote

WHO is representing this highly artistic work gentlemen? it is good, it is very nice, it is well executed, it is sharp, it is pointing and living...in many aspects. now! it is time to help me - least this would be least a kind of help... i would be glad to hear, read, or see,some relevant and pointing words to track this guy and tradition here...

John A Stuart Posted April 28, 2016 Report Posted April 28, 2016 I am thinking this tsuba of Christian is by 一泉 Issen. John Quote

Nikanoru Posted January 31, 2018 Report Posted January 31, 2018 It's Goto Ichijo, his later work, he signed similar to this after age 70 - Kiju'o Ichijo horu (喜壽翁・一乗彫). Shape is also screaming - Ichijo-shiki-mokko-gata, Ichijo's favorite. Hope you didn't sell it cheap 1 Quote
