Spartancrest Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 Can anyone tell me the correct name for these wooden wall plaques? Are they Tanzaku ... or something else? I have two of these and I believe there are another ten designs, as I have managed to find images of un-mounted pieces [all made from fired pottery] two missing. I realize they are not strictly Tosogu but all the designs are in tsuba form. It is difficult to research something without a correct name - [please don't say junk, it is self-evident] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartancrest Posted June 13 Author Report Share Posted June 13 Ray - worse than fake, they are not even trying! Just interested in what the display is called and what it might be for? Year of the rabbit, tiger, monkey etc. or birth sign? They must have been made in commercial quantities but were they made over a twelve year period or just in one year?

Bugyotsuji Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 額縁 木枠 フレーム These will point you in the right direction, if you are looking to display Tsuba that way. 1. Gakubuchi 2. Kiwaku 3. Frame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
