John A Stuart Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had seen a design repeated on both sides that had a difference in width of inlay like this. John Quote
Rich T Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 just denotes the front from the back. I do not think there would be a lot more to read into that. Rich Quote
John A Stuart Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Posted March 22, 2007 I guess so. You would think the hitsuana would be indicative although it seems maybe the kogaiana was altered. John Quote
Bungo Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 so you are the one that got that from ole Po edo !! milt the ronin Quote

Rich T Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 I guess so. You would think the hitsuana would be indicative although it seems maybe the kogaiana was altered. John Yes, but many designs and patterns were also balanced around the front and back, it was quite common with Ita tsuba. There is more to the theme/pattern on one side then the other. See attached for example Cheers rich Quote
John A Stuart Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 Ah, I see. Thanks, Rich Quote
Bungo Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had seen a design repeated on both sides that had a difference in width of inlay like this. John john, did you notice the squares were interlocked on one side and overlaid on the other ? milt the ronin Quote
John A Stuart Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 Hi Milt, Yes, it was the interlocked pattern that I liked. Celtic in a way. John Quote

Sadanaga (貞命), Kii (紀伊), early – mid. Edo, Good craftsman A pupil of Kawaguchi Hoan (川口法安). When Hoan's family moved to Aki (安芸), he remained in Kishu (紀州). He mostly made Ji-sukashi-tsuba (地透し鐔) with Kaku-mimi (角耳) O-moyou (大模様: large pattern?). There were 1st and 2nd generations of Sadanaga. Resided in Wakayama (和歌山). Quote
