christianmalterre Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Dear Gentlemen, i wonder if there is not a collector here who can help me in this querry ? this is actually the only picture i can post- wondering me extremely about the mei on this Tsuba. Confess i have not seen yet- anybody has seen? actually i am not very much convinced and rather do see it as a kind of mayfly..... Christian Quote
ROKUJURO Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 NAOMITSU working in NOBUIE style? Quote

BIG Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Christian also think "strange mei".. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/8131-yanagawa-school-mysteries/ Best Quote
christianmalterre Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Posted January 21, 2019 Dear Jean and Peter, thank you gentlemen! you do confirm my thoughts.... indeed strange..... Christian Quote
peterd Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Looks ok, just not the Naomitsu. There is one very close in kinko meikan Markus Sesko has him as late edo early meiji. Also known as Kajihei. Quote
Ron STL Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Christian, I am pretty sure that this tsuba -- which I take to be of iron plate -- Naomitsu, student of shinshin-to swordsmith and tsuba maker, Jirotaro Naokatsu. The hitsu-ana are of the Naokatsu group's style and the stroking of the mei looks right-on to an example in my Naokatsu tsuba collection. Certainly nothing fancy, but I'd certainly be interested if it becomes available. I'll attach my example for comparison. I just find it interesting to study the tsuba of Jirotaro naokatsu and his followers along with swords by Jirotaro and his son, Yamon Naokatsu. Ron STL Quote
christianmalterre Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Posted January 24, 2019 Dear Ron, i see and will hold you in first row... yes, it is available- is but mountet on a sword which does not interest me at all.... i do not collect me swords. the whole set is priced too high for what it is. let us see....i gave a offer- do but honestly speaking think, i will not get it for this price...

Ron STL Posted January 24, 2019 Report Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks Christian. I've kept a copy of the photo for my file for my reference in case nothing comes of this. Naomitsu was an interesting guy from what I've read. Was good at placing incorrect signatures on swords, so they say. Ron STL Quote
