noneed2hate Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 Picked this Mokume Tsuba up at an antique shop in Japan. I thought it was a particularly interesting Tsuba overall give the oddly shaped ana and samegawa inserts as well as the copper braiding on the sides. I believe the signature reads 明珍「_」宗晴 Myochin [?]Muneharu? Could not figure out the top left Kanji however if anyone could assist with that one. Any thoughts on the Tsuba overall? This is more or less my first serious approach to Tsuba 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steves87 Posted June 11 Report Share Posted June 11 I quite like that, congratulations! The flow of the grain is very nice, and I think it may also be the first time I have seen samegawa ategane too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
