Ken-Hawaii Posted February 12, 2019 Report Posted February 12, 2019 I just picked this up, & am trying to figure out which school it is. Looks brass or bronze, but actually steel. Quote
Greg F Posted February 12, 2019 Report Posted February 12, 2019 Hi Ken , A nice interesting tsuba, is the design bamboo and mokume? Greg Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Posted February 12, 2019 Yes, exactly, Greg. 1 Quote
Geraint Posted February 12, 2019 Report Posted February 12, 2019 Dear Ken. Nice find! I don't think Heianjo as the inlay is wrong for them. You do see this sort of gold work on some Bushu tsuba, though usually rather more of it, http://onlinecollection.asianart.org/view/objects/asitem/origin@Bushu%20province/0;jsessionid=EB63565CAB9A90D0D1D97C9D3FC7DC06?t:state:flow=ddb1a0fb-bc3e-49a4-af54-e173c233df60 and on radiating line iron tsuba. Enjoy! All the best. Quote
dominnimod Posted February 12, 2019 Report Posted February 12, 2019 I would go with shoami imo, it's very common for this school to use nunome inlay and textures Quote
MauroP Posted February 12, 2019 Report Posted February 12, 2019 Like Jose, I'd also go for Shōami Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted February 14, 2019 Author Report Posted February 14, 2019 A nice pair of tsuba, Mauro! Quote
MauroP Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 Hi Ken,actually I've posted just pics from my NBTHK tsuba database. In my collection I have 3 tsuba quite related to yours, I believe they are Shōami, but unfortunately no certification to prove my feelings. Quote
