blade Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 A follow up question to my Wakizashi request - this tsuba with a chrome like coating was poorly mated to the wakizashi. Any translation is appreciated. Quote

cdrcm12 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 Hi another Toshinaga. Like to see your whole tsuba please. Thanks Quote
blade Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Posted January 11, 2021 Thanks Colin, I have seen the other tsuba in a catalogue reference, making this Toshinaga I believe to be a 19th century smith. Here is the whole tsuba and the fittings with it on the Yasutsuna wakizashi that was translated earlier in this forum. I thought the steel tsuba and fittings had a chrome coating, due to the corrosion - possibly added later? Here is the tsuba, with subtle interwoven design. Quote
