Something For Your Enjoyment

[Antti]

Hi gents,

 

I have been watching this forum fairly closely but havent really written anything for a good while.

 

After 9 months of scraping my pennies together I have managed to get something nice which I'd like to share with you. And I do know the pictures are not great.

 

Shodai Kanshiro
Size - 76 x 74 x 3,5mm
Material - Shakudo plate with inlay in gold
Theme - Design of Ivy

 

It is unpapered but published by Ito Mitsuru, Works of Nishigaki Kanshiro, tsuba #64

[Fuuten]

Looks like a beautiful tsuba. If published and you know its the same one, I'd say go get the paper:)

Antti,

this is definitely a very nice TSUBA which I like as well!

Congrats!

[Greg F]

Very good looking tsuba Antti. Cheers.

Lovely Antii, and quite unusual. Congrats!

I really like the shakudo - gold contrast. Can't wait to see this one in hand.

Very nice and unique

[Antti]

Thank you for your comments.

 

Axel, I've been thinking about papering but then again Ito Mitsuru is THE expert when it comes to Higo so I will probably give it a pass. I dont feel comfortable papering something for the sake of papering.

 

I am sure it is the same tsuba from the book.

Antti, I am sorry to have to be the one to tell you: you are not allowed to post items like this.

It promotes envy, discontent,avarice and jealousy.

But as it gets such a positive response, nice one.

So glad you decided to post. Thanks.
