Lost in school


Kurikata

Recommended Posts

Martin,

 

it is said that seppa-dai form is a kantei point. I excluded akasaka school which is supposed to have a peak form at the top (and not rounded like mine) as Mauro exemple can show....

 

You are right - it is not peaked - it ends in a beak  :glee:

the topic Tsuba does not look to have any age dear Gentlemen.

 

this looks like a amatheurish done work to me...

 

least me here, i do not flipp onto it- to say it honest.

 

comparing it with the Lundgren one is even worse!

( have you ever seen the Lundgren one ? it got exhibited several times in the NBTHK European section meetings in the 90´s ! )

Christian, you mean the one in the 1st post?
I see nothing modern there, iron looks good. Happy to be proven wrong, but there are lots of decent indicators. Likely even had a shakudo spacer in the ana.
Not sure why you would think this one modern.

Christian,

I don´t think anybody asked for a personal taste here... So why make this Tsuba bad?

Taste is very personal and Bruno asked for a possible attribution to a school - nothing more. 

 

I met people who proudly presented their recent purchases and were completely upset after other people talked their objects bad (although only their taste was different and the object completely ok)...

 

I do not see any junk here, sorry.

Ja! Martin,

 

das ist vollkommen Richtig!

 

aber! ich kann doch beim besten Willen kein Akasaka Tsuba mit einem dahergelaufenem Shosu Stück vergleichen!

 

Und Du weisst selbst, wo die Grenzen liegen!

 

( those who may want to translate- will do it)

 

Christian

 

( Liebe Grüße! :) )

Christian,

It was simply the only Tsuba I found showing this peculiar bent head/neck similar to Bruno’s Tsuba. That’s all.

Puts the depiction of this particular Akasaka the researched one on the same level (or vice versa)? I don’t think so.

 

Sorry, but I still can’t see Your point.

So as a conclusion, trends provide 3 directions:

1-modern fake tsuba ==》 no school

2- Higo school (Kanshiro?)
3- Akasaka (either Tadatoki 4th gen. or Tadamasa 2nd gen.)

After some pictures provided privately by Sebastien (Gunome on NMB), I'll tend to think this tsuba beeing Akasaka.

Thank you all of you (even Christian ) for your interest.

have a nice week end all of you!

Thanks Thomas. There are so many different opinions from high valued experts in this forum that the only solution will consist in having NBTHK validation. I do not pretend NBTHK knows more than NMB members but the certificate is generally considered as a strong clue.
