Tavroch Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I have a question about tsuba that's been haunting me for some time. What are the dents near the centre hole called, and what are they for? At a guess I'd say they are made to try to fit the tsuba to the blade; is this correct? Sometimes they are filled in with copper(?) for the same reason? As I'm at it: can someone point me to a site that has a diagram with names of the tsuba parts? Quote
Brian Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Yep..correct. http://www.jssus.org/nkp/kanji_for_tsuba.html Brian Quote
