Omi no Kami Tsuguhide tsuba?

[Marcin]

If anyone can confirm atribution-translation. I didn't buy it yet I find this piece beautiful in it's simplicity.

JD auction id: s1239012464

The paperwork is too fuzzy to read, but yes, the Mei on the tsuba says Ōmi no Kami Tsuguhide, as above.

 

Although I pay J Yahoo action monthly, they have locked me out a couple of years back as I misplaced the password and they send emails to an old alternate work account no longer in use. :headbang:

 

Interesting tsuba btw.

It was a good price.  This smith seemed to like to make many mokume tsuba.  I have a similar piece that I went looking for when I saw this auction and well, I guess I have too many tsuba as I couldn't find it.  The outer rim on mine has had gold foil applied to it and it is not papered, but very close in dimensions.  I will look again to see if I can find it so I can post some images.  There is also this one for sale with NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon papers.  Tsuguhide - Nihon Collection

Thank You for opinion and link. This tsuba imo dsn’t need anything at rim so You can spot nice pattern.

Found it with a few other tsuba on the bookshelf.  Knew it was somewhere.  79.8mm x 76.6mm

I was surprised that one only got 1 bid... definitely a nice pickup at a good price for someone

Sometimes I forget how fortunate I am actually living in Japan and being able to bid on anything at whim. 

That is a gorgeous tsuba and one I'd be very proud to own!

Still a bit fuzzy, but yes, the paperwork does seem to correspond to that tsuba, Marcin.
