Nobody Posted April 30, 2025 Report Posted April 30, 2025 8 hours ago, uwe said: I’ve checked “Sesko”…hmm, he has him as “Kitsusōshi, I’m puzzled…. I am not sure about the correct reading for 橘窓子. However, I think that it might be possible to read Kissoshi (a euphonic change form Kitsusoshi). There is a word 橘窓 (kisso), which means a window with a view of citrus trees. 5 Quote
uwe Posted April 30, 2025 Report Posted April 30, 2025 Many thanks for explaining that, Moriyama San! 1 Quote
Bazza Posted April 30, 2025 Report Posted April 30, 2025 Very nice tsuba indeed. Now, I am puzzled by the feature in the photo below. This has risen in discussion on rare occasions, however, I don't know the name of it or what its purpose is. Anyone know?? I have a Muromachi tachikanagushi tsuba with an identical feature. Thanks, BaZZa. 1 Quote
