jeremy Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 Does anyone know where I can buy Japanese gendai iron tsuba? Thanks Jeremy Quote
Ford Hallam Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 In my opinion there's only one contemporary Japanese tsuba-shi working in iron worth seriously considering. Naruki Issei 成木一成 was recently elevated to mukansa, long overdue, by the NBTHK. A quick google search will yield a lot of guards. Quote
jeremy Posted December 7, 2019 Author Report Posted December 7, 2019 Thanks Ford . I should've been a bit more clear in my post . I'm actually looking for something to mount a shinsakuto I have at the moment. So maybe something in the ¥30-40000 ballpark Quote
Ford Hallam Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 No problem Jeremy, for that money you can get a reasonable late Edo piece that'd be perfectly usable. Grey has a few decent examples in your price range. Quote
jeremy Posted December 7, 2019 Author Report Posted December 7, 2019 Excellent thank you Ford . 1 Quote
Ed Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 Jeremy, Are you looking for a specific theme or style? Quote
jeremy Posted December 7, 2019 Author Report Posted December 7, 2019 Hi Ed, I would prefer mokko style , about 4mm thick at the seppa dai. No more than about 120 grams in weight, less the better. Cheers Jeremy Quote
Toryu2020 Posted August 15, 2022 Report Posted August 15, 2022 I'm sure you found your tsuba by now - but Meirin Sangyo has a great selection... -tch Quote
