Recommended Posts

I did read somewhere that many tsuba were tested by pounding in a mortar and pestle to ascertain which smith made the strongest guards - My new Bulldog puppy has been taking lessons!

[Only replica guards were hurt in the 'Testing' - but I am not anxious to let him near the rest of the collection!] :phew:
