Fuuten Posted May 25, 2020 Report Posted May 25, 2020 I think the hyotan and wrap design is quite nice as well. Hyotan are always pleasing to the eyes and I always enjoy the wrapping texture too. And for this price.. a steak! I'm quite tempted but I really can do that to the wife and kids haha, I'm too broke. 1 Quote
Pete Klein Posted May 25, 2020 Report Posted May 25, 2020 I'd be willing to bet the Dragon tsuba was at one time mounted on a Satsuma rig. I cannot remember their name but you can see where the two small binding cord holes have been filled. It also is not unusual to see a dragon depicted in association with Satsuma koshirae. 1 Quote
Higo-san Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks for your kind comments, gentlemen. The nanban tsuba is SOLD! The other tsuba are still available Quote
Higo-san Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Posted May 25, 2020 I cannot remember their name but you can see where the two small binding cord holes have been filled. I think that the term you are looking for, Pete, is udenuki-no-ana Quote
Oshy Posted May 25, 2020 Report Posted May 25, 2020 If not for that international shipping to the US ☹️ Quote
stephan_hiller Posted May 25, 2020 Report Posted May 25, 2020 PM sent for the Choshu tsuba. Stephan Quote
Higo-san Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Posted May 25, 2020 If not for that international shipping to the US ☹️ I can also send the tsuba for EUR 15 to the US - however, there is no insurance and only limited tracking included. Quote
