Michael 101 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Dear members, i am offering two very keenly priced Jingo school tsuba for sale on ebay - see link below. the Hawk design tsuba exhibited and published in the year book of the 1998 Dai Tokan Ichci show as late Jingo ( 5th master ) but I think its a later very copy. However as a version by the first master costs many tens of thousands then this example makes a very nice collection piece. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/mc114/m.html?item=254800272644&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Thanks for looking kindest regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Love the dragon. Heck of a price too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curran Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Both interesting pieces. ---The price on the dragon is a bit surprising. That is a gift for somebody. I really like the backside on that one. Shodai Eagle inlay design: are there any non-Juyo ones? Maybe the one in the Baur Collection? I've only ever got to study one of these, and the price on it was 90k. About 1 ft from it is as close as I will probably ever get to actually handling one. They are definitely one of those designs better understood in person than looking at them in a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 101 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Thanks Guys, there are very few 1st master Jingo Hawks in existence especially when those now attributed to the first Kanshiro are subtracted from the numbers. Hence the incredible price tickets on these when they rarely if ever come up for sale. This one I feel is a later copy made some time in the 20th century but its an incredibly good one - good enough to fool many dealers / collectors that its late Jingo ( Edo period work ) hence the reason it was exhibited in the DTI catalogue ( scans of pages attached ) and I guarantee its the very same tsuba I am offering for sale. yes the dragon is priced to sell - well it is Christmas after all. kindest regards michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissakai Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hi Michael I tried to look via the link but no luck even on an alternative browser I know my computer can be a bit flaky at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 101 Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hi Grev, if the links not working for you try searching “jingo tsuba” on ebay.co.uk and they both should pop up that way. Let me know if I can help should that fail. kindest regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael 101 Posted December 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Dear members, bump as its last 24 hours on the auction on these two. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/mc114/m.html?item=254800272644&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Contribution to the board once paid. kindest regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curran Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Dragon price one still a bargain. If you say the Hawk one isn't 5th gen JIngo, I will take your word for it. Still, looks 5th gen enough to me that I understand why it is in the DTI as such. If not his work, then dilettante or a student? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
