cdrcm12 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Posted February 6, 2021 Hi, Looking for a little help with this one please, having scoured my reference books and the internet struggling a little. Tsuba is nice Tosho style, with sukashi of a wild goose. Images below of tsuba and close up of mei - tsuba is 76mm, seppa-dai 4.8mm, mimi 3.7mm. Unfortunately one character is illegible. Quote
Nobody Posted February 7, 2021 Report Posted February 7, 2021 I guess that the mei might be 戸田彦左衛門 - Toda Hikozaemon. Ref. Bottom center of the following image 2 1 1 Quote
cdrcm12 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Posted February 7, 2021 That's fantastic, thank you for your help. Quote
cdrcm12 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Posted February 7, 2021 Update, spot on with the translation although my one is slightly different from the normal style for this artist: http://militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/25446-owari-toda-hikozaemon-iron-tsuba/ 1 Quote
