Kofu Tsuba

Recommended Posts

Recently picked up this Kofu tsuba of snowflakes. I can get most of the signature:

 

Kofu ju I Iye (Seito) Toshi....

 

The last character I'm struggling with, could be Shige?

 

I came a cross a Toshishige in a Bonhams sale but unfortunately no picture.

 

Looks like it has been mounted at some point, dimensions and pictures (sorry only one side ran out of file space) as follows:

 

73mm x 68.5mm x 5mm

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

 

I'm re-visiting this post having read the post on Tatsutoshi and students. This isn't specifically about that artist but more that in my original post the last character of the signature on the tsuba we thought was Naga 寿, I'm not so convinced and think this may be Toshi but that now doesn't make much sense Toshitoshi?

 

Could the first character being something other than Toshi?

 

Any thoughts or am I off track and the original translation of Naga is correct?

 

Thanks
