Any thoughts on Kozuka and tsuba?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

I recently picked up some fittings and thought I'd share and see if anyone had any thoughts, first is a kozuka, maybe Hamano school? No idea if it could be attributed to a specific maker as it's unsigned. it came with a kashira that looks like it was part of a set (sadly no fuchi, but I just looked at the kashira as an extra, and the slim-slim-slim chance might I come across a suitable fuchi some day) I'm familiar with the deer and sage theme but I couldn't find/remember what the sages name was?

I also have a tsuba, octagon shaped with multi metal inlays of anchors and plovers, one of the openings for the kozuka/kogai is squared off, like I've seen on some Higo guards? Grateful for any input as to age and school if possible.

Also wanted to mention I might sell these at some time in the future (not any time soon but I figured I should mention it as they could end up on ebay months or years from now)

Thanks in advance for your time,

Lance
