This my mumei T232 that may be a Norisuke tsuba

FYI Limited to 500 copies and I've ordered the translation

Steve - Did you get your copy signed? I received my copy yesterday and it is superb After delivery I asked about an English translation and they do sell this as well " Currently, we offer a comprehensive English translation and commentary of the Nobuie book for purchase. This edition includes additional contextual information, such as Kanji structures and explanations, to enhance your reading experience. The translation is priced at 17,500 JPY plus shipping (3,500 JPY)." At present, a PDF version of the translation is not available I wish I'd known about this as I could have saved on the shipping

I've of the same opinion as Kevin

Thanks Curran I've just found the Chrysanthemum leaves are a similar shape to the first tsuba

Hi I'm finding this design a bit difficult to determine It looks like holly but that doesn't seem right

I've always kept a record of my tsuba in a doc format as below I also keep a spreadsheet so I can easily organise them in any order such as schools and dates With the record you can add as much or as little as you like This one of my earlier records from over ten years ago and nothing has really changed but now I remove the tsuba background to white

I'd like to see close ups of the 'falling apart' areas

I think any NMB member can buy, this way the (gold) seller will have a larger pool to sell there items

I'll re-raise my earlier point Only gold members can post items for sale

Thank you both

Anyone know what is design represents?

A lot of works has gone into this document - many thanks. A valuable reference

Congratulations - a lovely achievement

Too new?
