The nakago is a keisho style o-suriage. 2 2 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted January 22 Report Posted January 22 Kabuto/Maedate kamon? Kuwagata Kamon? 1 1 Quote
FlorianB Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 (edited) Maedate is correct. The motif was simplified and adapted to the Tsuba shape, but if it is actually a kamon is in the eye of the beholder. After all those years I’m still fascinated by the way how tsubako used all sorts of motives to create an appealing composition in a small space. Edited January 23 by FlorianB 2 Quote
