Piers, If they are cast, they are not really "hand-made", strictly speaking. Smaller differences would then mean "not the same mold", which is well possible in a shop which produced numbers of similar items with several molds. I could imagine these candle-holders to have been standard equipment in any Japanese household before they had electricity, so possibly EDO JIDAI after all?

Jacques, don't look so much at the possibly lacking competence of others! I know you are very knowledgeable in this field, so your opinion might be especially valuable to us!

What makes it a TACHI blade?

Could that be SHODO equipment in the foreground? I think I can see a SUMIBACHI with an ink stick. Representing a poet or a painter at work in the beauriful landscape?

Jacques, I had the impression that Sky just asked for opinions of knowledgeable collectors.....

This is very surprizing to me. Perhaps it should be "....Late HEIAN to Late KAMAKURA period..."?

Any idea what this is? 15” OA 12” blade

KUNIYOSHI signed TANTO? More pictures of the "naked" blade (without HABAKI) on a plain dark, non-reflecting background would help for an impression of what you have.- 1 reply

No, I don't think so. I see a nice patina, and even the gold accents look intact.

Looks like an excellent BUSHU TSUBA to me.
