Ludolf Richter Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 I don't understand your question:why should it not be real?From father and son Sekibun (1788 or 1790 -1875,H 08118 and son 1838-1912,H 08119) there are many pieces on the market,from high quality to below standard ones.From my database I believe it to be the senior's work.Mei in Sosho "Yurakusai Sekibun".Ludolf Quote
Ford Hallam Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 This obviously the work of a drunken madman ...look at that mei! It wanders all over the place. Quote
Ludolf Richter Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Hi Ford,I don't see the Mei wandering:I see 2 colums,the right one with Yurakusai,the left one with Sekibun.He had not much place to space the colums with this Kozuka.Ludolf Quote
Brian Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Well done Ludolf, that one was far from easy. To my novice eye, it is a strange mei..but seeing the tsuba it makes sense. Brian Quote
Ford Hallam Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 Oh dear, Ludolf...it's true then. Germans really don't have a sense of humour Cue Herr Schiller It was a joke. I ought to insulted that you thought I was serious in saying that. I actually had this one play with a little while ago. In fact it'll be in my book.... There's more about it here Quote
raiden Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Posted March 15, 2012 Unno Moritoshi, student of Unno Shomin who was considered to be as talented as Natsuo when it came to sword fittings Quote
Ford Hallam Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 That is a great tsuba, Mike. Moritoshi was indeed a supreme artist craftsman. A Mito artist. Quote
