Recommended Posts

Afternoon :)

 

Another one of my recent acquisitions. I

bought this from a good friend I've met local to me and its my favourite piece out of my collection even out of all my soft metal tsubas.. I love the design and the lovely crisp carvings😎 thought I'd share it incase anyone was interested in sunagawa pieces😁

 

Would be interested to hear if anyone has any information on the Smith or tsuba.

 

Cheers :)

I found this guard of the same design, though in a simple maru shape sold by Christies in 2007 https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-three-bushu-tsuba-a-choshu-tsuba-a-4870264

 SUNAGAWA MASAYOSHI -  The auction description as -" helmets, armor and roof tiles" would be overstating the roof tiles as there are none. Korean armour and horse equipment would be my guess.

Another same as the original posted example but this time with a partial signature as with the maru piece. http://world.seiyudo.com/product/tu-040519/

75.8 mm x 72.9 mm x 4.6 mm    Weight:  110G    - must have been a popular design. The original guard appeared back in 2013 [Warning, one member has passed on since then :sad:]
