    Thanks Mauro It looks like a match to me especially the right hand mei Good idea about looking for similar tsuba designs
  2. kissakai started following Tsuba translations , Choshu tsuba , Latest tsuba for a translation query and 2 others

    Hi I appear to have made an error with this difficult to read translation Tomotsugu Chohan (Choshu Nakai) 友次 長藩 Something closer may be Tomonobu 友信 Any help would be appreciated

    I wondered why some posts when opened go to the last post but others start at the first post I like many others look at the 'joke' post but it always starts at the first post which is annoying (well it is to me)

    I don't think I have to say but would like to add that the Arthur tsuba I bought was at a good price and delivery was very quick - thanks

    I enjoyed this post and wondered how this classification works with tsuba

    Initially put a piece of leather around the crack then tightly wrap the saya and ensure the blade moves in and out the saya without touching the blade If all OK I'd carefully glue it together with rice glue although other may have a better alternative glue. Lewis's reply came in as I was posting my post!

    T506 This was a recent buy and seller also gave me some other info which is shown Umetada 埋忠 Bunsai 11th year 1821 文政 十一 年 Sanshoshi Norihide 三省子 Haynes 就栄 H06917.0 Oku Sendai Katsuyuki jū 奥仙 田 勝 之 庄 Une Shochu 雲遊 田 was queried by a friend as not being the norm for 'dai'

    That is making more sense to me now - thanks

    Thanks Jean and I agree 100% Still leaves this niggle Again, assuming I have the correct kanji I’d like to know why Jirotaro is on the front of this tsuba and not joined with the maker’s name It way be just on a whim and something I've not seen before

    1930M636 Jirotaro 次郎 Naokatsu 直勝 Nobuie 信家 utsushi 寫kore 之. H06661.0 Again, assuming I have the correct kanji I’d like to know why Jirotaro is on the front of this tsuba and not joined with the maker’s name

    T398 Choshu 長州 Hagi 萩 ju 住 Naka(i) 中 Tomomitsu 智光 Assuming I have the correct kanji, I’d like to know the context/meaning of 中

  16. kissakai
    I thought I'd try again with this request so I have decided to spit this post up a bit T363 Atsuyoshi 乃吉 carved 彫 this I have a query about this kanji 吉 as it doesn’t seem right for Atsuyoshi
