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.

Piers, PM sent.

Thank you Piers. I found him in Haynes under reference H 05891.0 Thank you so much
-
Hi, can you please decypher this mei for me ? Thank you
-
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.....

Hi NMB friends.. Can you help me, please, with these two kanji ? Thank you

Size of the tsuba: 8 cm I didn't think at a revival ko-kinko pièce. But might be the case...
-
My goal is obviously not to rehash an old thread of more than 12 years old. However when you search the web on "hitsu ana shape" , no much appears. I purshased a shibuichi tsuba some days ago described has being from "late Edo" . Coming back to hitsu ana shapes, one of them make me think that my tsuba could be much more earlier (muromachi ?). What are you views, please ?
-
By the way I have discovered this website with beautiful pictures of tsuba from Musée Gimet and Berne Museum. Description is not that bad... https://zone47.com/crotos/index.php?&p31=1758043&mode=0

Thank you Justin and Brian for confirming that my tsuba is not cast. I still have to discover who made it and what would be his influence/ school.
-
After a more detailed analysis of this tsuba, it appears that it was probably forged and not cast (see the attached photos). Having shown it to French collectors, they confirmed to me that this tsuba was not cast.
-
Hi everybody, First of all thank you for your warm interest and you comments. Difficult for me to state if my tsuba is cast or not. Probably it is... anyway it has been mounted on a sword. As a final statement which is not objective I like it very much. On the objective side I paid 30 euros for it. Thank you again.
-
Dear all, Some estimated NMB members have decyphered this tsuba signature as being : right side: 癸巳十月 left side : 心哉彫 Unfortunatly nobody as a smith is referenced with these kanji in books which are available to me. Does someone can find similar tsuba in style to drive me in the right direction ? Thank you.
-
Yes it is. Cast Iron tsuba which has been multi produced in series.
-
Thank you. Focusing on 2 kanji I forgot to see the entire signature. Thank you again.
-
As the title of this thread mention it, I have modestly achieved to decypher : Mune Kane. Can you confirm?
-
Thank you all of you for your investigations. Another enigma to solve. I'll try to find similar tsuba on the web sites . Perhaps by similarities I'll be able to discover what is its origin and school.
-
Thank you so much Steve and Uwe for your efforts to find the Smith name. After googling all kanji and translation, nothing relevant was displayed. Only jūgatsu as being october (10th month) was clearly understable to me. Thank you again.
-
Thank you Jean, Please find herewith a picture of this tsuba.
-
Thank you Jean for your interest. I hope someone will be able to decypher the signature. I have found one : 心 being Shin (1st Kanji on the left side)
