LeonKr Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 Recently I got a wakizashi with a damage tsuka. The tsuka has a nice set of fittings. Does anybody know what school this set of Fuchi / Kashira belongs to? The tsuka - ito need to be redone Need to find one to do this. Any suggestions ? Thank you 1 Quote
Nikanoru Posted September 23, 2019 Report Posted September 23, 2019 Ishiguro hawks were the most famous. I saw some examples of Hamano hawks as well as signed Mito ones. This one is really nice and more Mito to me. IMHO Quote

francois2605 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Posted September 23, 2019 Is it possible to see the other side of the menuki ? Quote
LeonKr Posted September 23, 2019 Author Report Posted September 23, 2019 Alex, Thank you very much for your opinion. Much appreciated. The other side of the menuki. Quote

russbellon Posted September 23, 2019 Report Posted September 23, 2019 Compositionally, the F/K remind me a bit of this set: https://www.ebay.com/itm/IX-98-High-Grade-Rare-design-Fuchi-Kashira-set-YOSHIKAWA-NANPOU-sign-Edo/223613403371?hash=item341065c0eb:g:ylEAAOSwCTddSPp3 Quote
Tigerinbamboo Posted September 23, 2019 Report Posted September 23, 2019 Menuki look fine to me, but the background is terrible to photograph on. Brian, as a teaching point, are you saying the menuki are NOT cast? If so, how do you tell? Curiously, Quote
