Up for sale is a nice iron Tsuba showing crabs on a rock. Good Design, well done. The dents in the rim are intentionally made to support the Design of the irregular rocky surface of the plate. 70,7mm x 66,2mm x 4mm thick Price 380,- Euro OBO plus Shipping

Up for sale is a very good Ko-Shoami or Shoami Tsuba. Prominent Tekkotsu in the rim (very difficult to take a good picture but the are thick an big), very fine silky iron. Dark chocolate-brown Patina. 76,65mm x 73,69mm x 6,16mm thick at seppa-dai. I bought this Tsuba 2018 from Eric Molinier ("ericowazamono") . I'm changing the Focus of my collection to late-Edo kinko Tsuba, so this one must go. Buyer won't be disappointed by this piece. Price is 950,-Euro OBO plus Shipping.

My only Tsuba that is papered as Ono (I hope so, I can't read the paper, but the seller told me...). Bold and heavy, 71mm x 68mm and 6mm thick.

Not an answer, but a new question: The copper plate looks as if it was originally larger and was reduced in size at some point. The shakudo rim may then have been added. Some of the motifs on the plate seem to be cut off at the edge, do you think that could be a possibility?

Is it possible to get a picture from the other side? Regards Peter

This photo depicts the true color of the iron much better.

I bought this Tsuba in Japan some years ago, it's papered to Ono, but I'm still not sure about the attribution. It's bold an powerful and full of Tekkotsu, so it might be true, but it looks rather different to the other Ono Tsuba posted above. Height 71mm Width 68mm 6mm thick Regards Peter

And here is the result after a treatment with isopropyl alcohol! I'm really thankful for your help!

Thank you guys, that's really helpful!

Thanks, good idea!
