kyushukairu Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 Everyone’s talking about the recent Haynes auction and the high prices a lot of the tsuba went for, especially the Tanaka school tsuba, which went for €5000 and €12000 respectively. This is your chance to own a wonderful Tanaka-style tsuba for a fraction of that. This wonderful piece has the characteristic sekigane and the wabi-sabi style iron and nunome-zogan. In hand, the surface treatment looks so smooth I first thought it was kinko, but it is in fact iron. It also has a great theme of a dragon, and a very good size (85x80mm). Comes in a delux kiri box with trim around the edge. £1200 ono If you wish for additional images or a video, I'll be happy to email them to you 2 3 Quote
kyushukairu Posted March 24 Author Report Posted March 24 I have received several messages praising this tsuba, which I am letting go to focus on my collection of Akita Shoami. As such, I would also be open to trade for anything signed or papered to Akita metalworkers Quote
