  1. Never seen such an umbrella. Should you have pictures of such an umbrella, i would learn something new on an every day usage of tsuba.
  2. Yes indeed! It was probably mounted for a pole arm. Thank you for your kind words....
  3. Coming back to the main topic, one of my tsuba where the copper insert intends to repair the damages done to the nakago ana to fit a new blade.

    Rust below?

    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

  6. A lot of information in this thread:
  7. Hi Justyn, this specific tsuba has been discussed years and years :
  8. Indeed, Steve's explanation appears so obvious ! Once you have it, everything seems so simple.... thank you!
  9. Thank you so much Damon for your VERY nice tsuba. I am impressed by the sukashi skills of these artists.
  10. Thank you Mauro for all these exemples. I am surprised by such different styles within the same school. Amazing!
  11. 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.
  12. Wounderful find ! Bravo!
  13. 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.
  14. Sword offered by Napoleon 1er . € 3 650 000 Hammer price
  15. Very faint signature indeed. Please provide a better picture.
  16. 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.
  17. Piers, PM sent.
  18. Thank you Piers. I found him in Haynes under reference H 05891.0 Thank you so much
  19. Hi, can you please decypher this mei for me ? Thank you
  20. 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.
  21. 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.....
  22. Hi NMB friends.. Can you help me, please, with these two kanji ? Thank you
  23. Could it be yamagane ? Please refer to : https://varshavskycollection.com/collection/tsu-0331/
