zzpablobe Posted April 24, 2021 Report Posted April 24, 2021 Hello I have acquired a small collection of Tsubas and I have no knowledge of what type or age they are. Thank you for any information. 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted April 24, 2021 Report Posted April 24, 2021 Difficult to see but probably signed SHOAMI. Quote
Spartancrest Posted April 25, 2021 Report Posted April 25, 2021 This guard could be of historic significance - one very much like it was formally owned by the Baron, Rudiger of Biegeleben, envoy to Tokyo of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. The one pictured is inscribed Shoami Denshichi , the quality of the image from 1923 makes it difficult to prove as it shows only the ura, but well worth the effort to substantiate. I hope someone can come up with a mei translation on yours. 2 Quote
Yasaka Azuma Posted April 25, 2021 Report Posted April 25, 2021 That is exactly what it says"出羽秋田住正阿弥傳七(dewa akita-no-ju shoami denshichi)". This one has a similar design. https://www.choshuya.co.jp/senrigan/竹林図鐔 無銘 秋田正阿弥/鍔/秋田正阿弥 1 1 Quote
