Hamano school (?) Kinko tsuba

[Matsunoki]

Hello from the UK

posting just for interest although any observations always welcome.

A quite nice Hamano (?) school wakizashi tsuba in dark shibuichi with the usual mixed metal inlays depicting Kanzan and Jittoku having laid down their bundle of firewood under a pine tree to examine a scroll…..doubtless one of Kanzan’s  poems. This pair have very deep significance within  Zen Buddhism.

Acquired a while ago  as part of a hugely enjoyable multiple swap type deal…..always great fun.

All the best. Thanks for looking. Colin

What significance did Princess Leia have in Japanese folklore? George Lucas never had an original thought in his life!

Colin,

If I remember correctly, JITTOKU is often depicted with a brushwood broom.

Did Princess Leia have a broom?

I am not allowed to say - it would show gender bias - these days she would be the one reading the scroll 

 

Now if we were talking about Boba Fett!
