A far cry from your swords, where did you buy these tsuba?

[Tengu1957]

I don't believe normal conversations start this way. This is Brian's Web site and we are all guests so I believe he prefers we communicate in a less aggressive style. We are supposed to share things for learning and enjoyment.

I like the Echizen Thunder n Rain n Buddhist Wheels tsuba.

I think I have seen a similar example published in one or two places.

I like the dragon and phoenix theme, directional/constellation guardians.

 

As far as the tsuba themselves though, the Buddhist lightning and karmic wheel openwork has got to be the best!
