Akasaka Tsuba, again

[Jez]

Hi all,

This appears to be my first post, but I’m sure you’ve seen this before. My original account and posts “couldn't be carried over I'm afraidâ€. I was and still am trying to find information on this tsuba and its theme of broken fans.

 

Could you please repeat what you posted before or add something new.

 

This is the original picture of the Akasaka School tsuba signed Tadanori 忠則. Size is 75mm wide x 78mm high.

A picture was offered in the previous thread. I wonder if some one could post it and translate it again for me. It was described as “signed by Bushu no Ju Tadatoki Saku (nandai) in the late Edo Era. From Tsuba no Bi, 2003 Kashimaâ€

Here is the original thread (still there for reference)

Here is the pic:

The translation according to Piers was

139 Akasaka Tsuba

Broken fan, End of Edo

7th gen Tadatoki's work

The quality of this design was the strength/appeal of Akasaka work

still looking for further information. "I also came across this Akasaka School design at http://kotto-dori.com/ts0003.html. The author describes it as "...a simple, yet powerful design. You can easily imagine the tattered fans lying amongst the snow after a winter campaign defeat." "

 

Does anyone know of any other, preferably Akasaka School, designs with a similar theme?
