Tsuba mei

Recommended Posts

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.
