Further to my previous post, please see photos below for kantei #2.  

 

Shakudo tsuba with horizontal lines in gold and shakudo with water dragons done in gold.  Two dragons on the front and one on the back.  Wood bark pattern on the surface of the tsuba.

Dimensions: 7.7 cm x 7.4 cm x 0.3 cm (at mimi).  Thicker at the seppa dai.

 

Any guesses on this one?

 

Answer to be revealed on Monday.

Thanks for posting this Mauro.  Interesting to see the Shonai attribution.  My tsuba is not papered, however it is almost identical to the one from Ginza Choshuya (in the picture above).  I cannot read the description, so not sure if this mentions a paper or whether the Akita Shoami attribution is just this dealer’s view.

 

Cheers

Justin
