a very beautiful tsuba, which artist


kanemoto

Recommended Posts

The tsuba belongs to a wakizashi. The outfit has the theme of birds. The tsuba is made of shakudo, 7cm diameter, peacocks on a branch of a pine tree, all very nicely finished. Has anyone seen such a work before? Which artist and which school can this work be attributed to?
Delicate bird feathers were inlaid in the lacquer of the saya, fuchi and kashira are decorated with a magpie on nanako ground.

Dear Uwe.

 

No help with the tsuba I fear but the birds on the unusual fuchi kashira look like Japanese cuckoos.  I don't think I have ever seen feathers inlaid into the lacquer of the saya before.  All in all a really interesting koshirae.  

 

All the best.
