These tsuba with a basket backround are typical of shoami school. Please find herewith a good exemple:http://ricecracker.com/inventory/822_tsuba_higo_basketweave/822_tsuba_basketweave.html
Hi,
I have purchased this tsuba recently signed Echizen Myochin Yoshi Hisa saku.
Can you show similar tsuba from your collection and do you have information on this specific school ? Thank you.
Hello everybody,
I have just adquired this tanshu no ju sadamasa tsuba (丹州住定正) but wandering what the design is ? Is the meaning a cosmology or Zodiac sign?
Thank you for your help.
Hi Marcin,
My personnal opinion is that Catawiki is not the best place to purchase nice pieces. This katanakake is modern and quite expensive for a 21st century piece. I would suggest to invest in a real edo katanakake even spending more money.
My personnel test would not drive me to purchase this one.
Thank you Piers,
Haynes lists at EISEI (栄清) that the two kanji can be read as Shigekiyo or even Hidekiyo (Haynes 00450.0) . Not sure he is the same guy.
Thank you Jean and Uwe for your help.
Unfortunatly I didn't find in my books any TSUNEKIYO, EISEI or TSUNEHARU (One of my guesses) from akao school with those Kanji.
Another mystery.....
