GRC Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Any help would be much appreciated... kanji done by hand, don't do well in google translate It's for an iron sukashi tsuba with clouds and water drops. Thanks! Quote
ROKUJURO Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 It is a KANZAN HAKOGAKI, I think, and perhaps for an OWARI TSUBA. 尾張 Mauro is an expert on these and will certainly be able to help. 1 Quote

GRC Posted January 23 Author Report Posted January 23 Thanks Jean and Koichi It confirms my suspicions and keeps the lid open on the pandora’s box of the NBTHK assigning “school” attributions to old, unsigned iron tsuba. The NBTHK papered this tsuba to Ko-shoami, while Sato Kanzan assigned it to Owari. I love this tsuba even more now because of the blatant discrepancy in attributions. Quote
MauroP Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Hi Glen, please post also images of tsuba and the outside side og the hakogaki (sometime the tsuba doesn't match the box with the hakogaki). Quote
