Tsuba on tsuba

[Kurikata]

Hi,

 

do you have similar tsuba wit a tsuba design on them ? I guess mine is shoami but what are your views?

 

Thanks

Sorry, can’t help, but the Nata on the back is puzzling me. Why?

Sorry I don't have any information on the first guard - the second is from the Metropolitan Museum of Art  acc. Number 14.60.40

https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/34941  It is signed but I don't have the translation.

This one I sold a few years ago but Ifitted it onto a Nagamitsu katana

School: Aizu Shoami
Circa: 1800
Size: 77 x 70 x 4mm
Bought from Japan in 2012

You can see there are differences

Gentlemen,

 

Just to add to the collection.

 

Have just received an identical iron tsuba with a truly beautiful color patina. Shown mounted on a sword made by 1st generation Hirotaka around 1655 and together with an equally nice quality Koshira.

 

Pictures taken by seller.

This one is clearly from the same workshop as Bruno's, Grev's and Soren's examples - other than overall shape and the inclusion of the gold plain tsuba. 

It was passed in at auction so it may reappear at sometime https://www.jauce.com/auction/d1097013007

How about tsuba on a kozuka-menuki set. Pretty cool.
