Last one for tonight, Yasutaka Tsuba.

Good evening! :)

 

Another one of my recent acquisitions I

bought this from a good friend I've met local to me. 

 

Signed: Yasutaka 

A Lovely quality Yasutaka shibuichi carved and inlayed tsuba featuring birds (Japanese sparrow?), bamboo, river and flowers (Japanese Peony?). 
I believe around the 18th-19thC

 

 

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

 

Cheers :)

Hi Chuck,

 

Very nice Tsuba.

 

Haynes only has two listed that sign like your man (H 11272.0 & H 11273.0) and the latter has a Kao - that I think resembles yours.. Not exact, but probably to be expected maybe, from a sketch. But then again, most Kao take on a similar form.

 

No much info on either of them, so I doubt anyone would go to the trouble of forging it..? But you never know..! Haynes states the other (H 11272.0) is Hamano Yasutaka and died ca. 1800 - with an unrecorded Kao. 

 

Barrie.
