    Menuki theme

    Kai-awase (貝合わせ) is a Japanese game with shells. The shells in the inside would have elaborate paintings, often depicting scenes from the Tale of Genji.[1] The aim of the game was to find the other half that would fit.
  13. Modern tsuba and poor level quality fichi/kashira/menuki. Saya looks modern too.
  14. End of march , within a french auction house --> Tsuba as a trivet !!!!!
  15. What lovey tsuba you have Chuck! Sunagawa Masayoshi is referenced in Haynes with ID H4798. Your tsuba signature is: 松柏堂砂川正吉 - Shohakudo Sunagawa Masayoshi Kao - Made by Masayoshi from Sunagawa Please refer to this thread on NMB forum :
  16. From Joly's SHOSANKENSU, 3 Yasutaka are listed.. Your tsuba kakihan looks similar to Nukugawa Yasutaka as mentioned by Barrie. Anyway, lovely tsuba
  17. From Haynes.....
  18. In any event, all's well that ends well.
  19. Haynes mentions such a name as reference H04832 being a student of Goto Tsunemasa and a retainer of the Kii branch of the Tokugawa Bakufu. Being active around 1825-1850.
  20. Marc, Haynes lists at least 12 to 15 tsubako having used the Shigeyoshi name. When we come to Kinko Meikan , a similar signature is mentionned at 158 b (埋忠七左衛門 橘重義作) Hope it helps!
  21. Hi Carl, this statue is commonly seen in various auction houses in France and on the web: https://www.google.com/search?q=bronze+tiger+Japan&rlz=1C5CHFA_enFR917FR918&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj-sdGUlMTuAhWl0eAKHZiWA4gQ_AUoAXoECBIQAw&biw=1920&bih=983
  22. Luca, Haynes mentions a Chosuke with ref. H04252 (masanaga) but I doubt it is the same artist...
