Unusual construction tsuba

[MauroP]

Dear members, I've found an unusual tsuba (see  https://www.owazamono.com/tsuba-nagasaki) described as "4 construction plate". Since a 3-plate tsuba is described 三枚仕立 - sanmai-shitate, how is the right romaji for 四枚仕立? Maybe shimai-shitate?
Thanks for reading.

Mauro,

does it really have four layers or was the FUKURIN counted as another layer? Otherwise, I would still call it a SAN-MAI TSUBA.

真鍮四枚仕立地 is how it's reported in the NBTHK kanteisho

I would call it “yonmai shitate”!

Thank you Mauro,

so we can only speculate how they counted the parts unless we get a look into the ANA of the TSUBA.

You are right, and it also reads "yomai shitate".
