Higo-san Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Dear all letting go of this tsuba was not an easy decision but there are other major investments ahaead... this sale is about an investment-grade Owari tsuba with an almost perfect (!) maru-gata shape and plenty of tekkotsu. The quality of the iron is very high and has much appeal to it. The mimi is kaku-mimi and the design was judged as jumon (which can roughly be translated as a complex pattern). The attribution has been confirmed by the NBTHK. The Hozon papers have been issued this year. The tsuba came to me from an old French collection. Dimensions: Width: 7.57 cm Height: 7.56 cm (Average) Thickness at the seppa-dai: 0.57 cm (Average) Thickness at the mimi: 0.59 cm Nakago-ana: Width: 0.97 cm Height: 2.65 cm Asking price: EUR 1,900.00 plus actual shipping costs from Germany (will be somewhere between EUR 25 and EUR 65 depending on your location) Best Chris 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
