Tanto54 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Posted October 6, 2018 Dear Eric, Good for the price... The theme is Tekkai Sennin. He is an immortal who can breathe out his spirit to allow it to go on long trips. Once he breathed out his spirit to allow it to visit his master on faraway Mount Hua. Before his spirit returned, someone found his lifeless body, assumed he was dead and cremated his body, scattering the ashes. Upon his return, he was forced to inhabit another recently deceased body. Unfortunately, the only available body was of a lame beggar, so he is often depicted in Kodogu as a bony beggar, leaning on his walking staff, turning his head to the side and breathing his soul out in a mist. 2 Quote

lotus Posted October 8, 2018 Report Posted October 8, 2018 I am only just starting study in these types of Tsuba but would venture a guess that this might be an Aizu Shoami school piece. Anyone one else have an idea? Quote
lotus Posted October 8, 2018 Report Posted October 8, 2018 Could be Mito, and for that matter, it also could be Nara? Pat Quote
