North Star Motif Set


Vermithrax16

Recommended Posts

Really happy this Monday as a set of tsuba I have wanted forever became available and arrived today. 

Set of Sankei tsuba with motif of the big dipper.

 

On left: NBTHK Hozon (translation attached here)

8.1cm X 8.9cm X 0.5cm

 

On right, yet to be submitted, but after study and in hand I think Sankei as well:

8.0cm X 8.6cm X 0.5cm

 

Would like to submit as a daisho set to shinsa soon.

 

Reminds me of a great book that really moved me when I read it.

Hi Jeremiah,

 

A very nice restrained design.  One adverse observation is that the surface either side of the nagako ana looks like it has been hammered flat.  If it was not for the NBTHK Hozon I would be wondering if someone had not obliterated a signature that they did not like.  Any explanation?

 

all the best, John
