Spartancrest Posted January 22, 2022 Report Posted January 22, 2022 I spotted this on an auction site - https://www.jauce.com/auction/h1033077981 But what is it? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted January 22, 2022 Report Posted January 22, 2022 Dale, do you have a link to the original Japanese site? I wonder if that word ‘Kosuke’ is an attempt at rendering 小柄 Kodzuka/Kozuka into English? A fancy knife handle decorated with Higo Zōgan? 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Posted January 22, 2022 Piers: Not sure if this will help - also listed on - https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/h1033077981 肥後 象嵌 光助作 未使用品 美品 共箱入りサイズ：全長12.3cm 巾2.3cm 素人採寸に付、若干の誤差はあるかもしれません。 I thought it may be a kozuka but I couldn't work out why it had that bent angle end and tassel? The images don't help much with the other end, is it open or closed? Can you fit a blade to the 'handle' - just odd [and I do like odd!] Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted January 22, 2022 Report Posted January 22, 2022 https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h1033077981 It does not say what it is, but it is listed as ‘unused’ under Bugu, Tsuba and Tōsōgu… A modern ‘Kozuka’ knife handle??? Beautiful work, by the way. 1 Quote
