GRC Posted March 23 Report Posted March 23 This is sort of a strange request... but I'm trying to solve a bit of a mystery. Bruce passed away almost a year ago now. He had acquired and sold off many tsuba over the decades he spent devoted to the study of tsuba and Japanese pottery. Anyway, he probably had this tsuba in his possession at some point, or it may even have been just an image from an online site that he saw it on, but I'd like to know if any of you have seen it or know who has it. Thanks in advance 3 Quote
GRC Posted March 23 Author Report Posted March 23 1000% ! I can't begin to tell you how much of an influence he was on me. I'm trying to piece back together some of the groupings of tsuba he had collected to showcase how each group of tsuba represents the body of work of a single unidentified smith. This is one of those missing pieces that really should get back together with the others, so that all of Bruce's insights and discoveries don't just fade into the mist and get cast about across the world, maybe never to come back together again... I'd also like to present those groupings on a forum such as this to showcase how the limited number of "schools" that tsuba get attributed to, are insufficient and need expansion. 3 Quote
