Krystian Posted September 23, 2020 Report Posted September 23, 2020 Hello, Here is an Onigawara tsuba with inscription on the back side made with silver inlay. In my opinion first kanji is "天" (Heaven) and second "王" (King). I have no idea about the last one. I asked on facebook and got two possiblie options: 1. ten-jin-chi: heaven-man-earth 2. Tennoji: name of the temple in Tokyo or district in Osaka. Please let me know what are your thoughts. Regards, Krystian Quote
Nihonto Otaku Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 looks more like Tennoji 天王寺 in my opinion Quote
MauroP Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 It looks like that the subject of the tsuba is a collection of ornamental roof tile, so the kanji could be searched among the decorations of a temple roof. Quote
