kyushukairu Posted February 6, 2017 Report Posted February 6, 2017 Hello all,I picked up this rather nice contemporary tsuba, which is signed Koichi (公一作) a day in August 1990 (平成二年八月日), however I haven't been able to find any information on the smith. I don't suppose anyone is familiar with the artist, and could enlighten me as to where they resided, whether they are still active, or any other relevant information?A friend suggested that it was possible that this tsuba may have been entered into the NBTHK competition, in which case, if anyone has access to the results from 1990 (which I believe were published in the Token Society Newsletters), I would very much appreciate if you could confirm my friends hypothesis.Yours authentically,Kyle Quote
