kissakai Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 Hi I recently bought this from a NMB member and I wondered if anyone knew what the cutouts on the hitsuana are for? I assume the petal shape is just a generic shape rather than a specific flower Quote
Barrie B Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 Hi Grev, I assume you mean the small cut outs at the top of the Kozuka-ana and at the bottom of the Kogai-ana? I am wondering if these were from a previous design and the the hitsu-ana were added later..? Nice Tsuba BTW. Barrie. Quote
MauroP Posted July 31, 2017 Report Posted July 31, 2017 Maybe a rudder (舵透図 - kaji sukashi no zu)? Mauro Quote
kissakai Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Posted August 1, 2017 I'm not sure but I don't think they were added later Rudder would be a good call but why! Apart from some Namban tsuba I've never seen hitsu ana as a design feature Quote
