New Tachi(Shi) Tsuba

[rkg]

Hey guys,

 

I've actually been putting a lot of images of tsuba up on Rich Turner's Kodogu no sekai facebook page recently, but here's one you might find interesting - sorry about the link to the Facebook Collective, but they actually serve as a reasonable photo album, so....:

Hi:

That is one terrific tsuba Richard!

Richard, this is a great example to help explain the 'cladded' style inlays (I apologise I cannot recall the correct name). The top decoration on the front is worth 10,000 words.
