I just received this guard from Japan and was wondering if anyone might have an idea of the School or maker - it is unsigned.

I know of a very similar piece in the Cleveland Museum of Art, but that museum has very little by way of information.

I am undoubtedly biased but I think mine is in much better condition. Size is 55 mm x 45 mm

Bruno: That is very useful information, thank you very much. With that I was able to find this thread - 

and the images of the menuki which have many of the features found on my tsuba.
