tyrone ohara Posted June 10, 2016 Report Posted June 10, 2016 HI.guy's This is yoshitsune on gojo bridge.malcolm and i were chatting about this one the other day, would this not be benkei on the bottom half rather than two horses. Are these two separate pieces.what do you all think.? This is a letter opener of copper and brass of tenaga hope you like it. Thanks Ty Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted June 11, 2016 Report Posted June 11, 2016 Good morning Ty., More interesting pieces. The usual form when showing Fuchi or Tsuba is to always show the thinner part of the Nakago ana at the top as you did with your previous two signed pieces. The Tenaga piece is really interesting but so too is the piece you partially show on the left of picture 3 and wholly in Picture 4 (with the Chidori). At first glance I thought the Tenaga might be for a Tobacco case, but they are usually pressed metal, yours is solid and double sided. They may be Tourist pieces or small Bunchin (scroll weights). On the Tenaga, I think the signature in picture 4 is: ? 春 Kao . Which is something Haru and then Kao art signature. What is your opinion John? Cheers Quote
ROKUJURO Posted June 11, 2016 Report Posted June 11, 2016 The TENAGA signature might be MASAHARU. 1 Quote
