Nice tsuba and the meaning probably related to Gama sennin...

Hope to see the original one (or a least a similar one) found in the Hawkshaw collection in 1910 (#2163)..... In the description it is mentioned that this piece is signed by Iwamoto Konkwan but "probably fairly modern Tokyo work" . Already at this time !

Pietro, Such origami have been discussed in this Thread on the forum :

Tsuba on the paper looks similar to this one which is quite different from the original post one (First picture)... On another hand, it is not rare to see some "Kunihiro" tsuba with "Christian" topics added in modern times (second picture)

Hi Faust, welcome to the board. Should you have a blade in shirasaya, I would suggest to let it in that way. Shirasaya is protecting the blade against all injuries and air attacks especially if you are in a salty atmosphere (close to a sea shore for instance). Regards Bruno

Darrel, it is clear that Tanaka school kantei point are those very specific Sekigane being an integrated part of the Tsuba. Is it the same situation for Goto school ones?
-
Yas, thank you for your interesting question. From my own point of view, sekigane are original to the tsuba itself . This tsuba apparently has been mounted once only.

Here it is Krystian

I personally offered me my Xmas present (I followed the advice: If you want it done right your better do it yourself) Now we come to a school attribution. Personally I tend to consider this tsuba with a Goto school origin but.... would it be Omori, Yoshioka or Yanagawa? Thank you for your views.

A novel on a kozuka back for translation
Kurikata replied to Kurikata's topic in Translation Assistance
Steve, I was desperate , knowing the difficulty to translate such kanji, the way they are sculpted. (I even , sometimes, does not succeed in re-reading what I had written the previous day!) A GREAT THANK YOU TO YOU! Haynes mentions Hirosada (弘貞) from Mito school signing 秀現斎 (Shūgensai). - H 01386.0. Regarding some exemples in Hawkshaw (Page 182) I think it might match and this artisit was discussed in this thread some years ago : -

A novel on a kozuka back for translation
Kurikata replied to Kurikata's topic in Translation Assistance
Here it is , Kozuka is in my hands. I guess the poem or text might be a kind of "Tale of Genji" story or something similar. Any help on this will be more than welcome. Thank you Bruno

Adding the thread mentioned here above:

Ninja Samourai Katana 🤣🤣🤣

I fully agree with Thomas. These paperknives where made for tourists, even though, I find my two exemples as very cute.
-
Yes Nara probably. Anyway I purchased mine as being from the Nara school.....
-
For your information, a similar tsuba with same technic is displayed in G.Murtha's book on Heianjo tsuba (page 84)

Hi Thomas, the kozuka is on its way to Europe from the US. One's arrived at home, I'll post more precise pictures. Thank you for your interest. -
Hi, I know that I am demanding a lot in this case... A least who has signed the kozuka and what is globally the story/poem on this kozuka? Thank oyu Bruno
