My Tsuba Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Can anyone tell me about these design thank you 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 It looks like ISHIME, combined with TENPO influence, and some isolated TEN-ZOGAN brass (?) inlay. If you could be so kind as to dismount the TSUBA and show it completely, that would be helpful. Quote
Spartancrest Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Tenpo/Tempo/Tembo - various spellings - 天保. Or Saotome with 'hot stamped' Tonbo [dragonfly]. Difficult to make out but definitely there. Unsure of the ten-zogan, is the image overexposed? Could be silver inlay? Very fine dots and rather sparse. 3 1 Quote
Rich S Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 IMHO, Tenpo on a Saotome plate - quite nice. Rich 1 Quote
Curran Posted October 22, 2021 Report Posted October 22, 2021 Tombo on a tenpo. Say that 3 times quickly. 2 1 Quote
My Tsuba Posted October 25, 2021 Author Report Posted October 25, 2021 Thank you all for the comments I will see what I can do to dismount it for a better view Quote
