docliss Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Would a kind member please refine my reading of the mei on the attached tsuba, depicting a householder on the eve of settsubu. I have managed HIDEKAZU CHO YEGAKU TOSHINAGA TSUKURU, presumably an acknowledgement by the artist of a drawing by Hidekazu. With thanks for your anticipated expertise, John L. Quote
Nobody Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Your reading is almost correct. The name on the right is Hanabusa Itcho (英 一è¶). Quote
docliss Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Posted August 16, 2008 Thank you so much for your prompt reply. John. Quote
Brian Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 What a charming tsuba! I love the texture added with hammerwork. Very pleasant indeed. Brian Quote
