Thank you so much Moriyama San.
This Hakogaki does not bring much information by itself but brings more value to this fuchi kashira due to Kanzan Sato's expertise.
Thank you Pete for being so patient with me and "invention" was a little bit provocative as I did not find any literature on this school but Haynes. All exemple I found on the web sites mentioned Haruta without ECHIZEN (only found one in Aoi art website but not at all in mine style). That's why I come as as a conclusion that this school is pretty unknown .
Despite Axel and Pete help and after going through my books and Internet researches, I still do not have information on Echizen Haruta school. Is it really a school? My conclusion: It is a pure invention from the Fitting Museum, end of 20th century...
Hi Dale ,
I purchased this tsuba 13 years ago..... directly in Japan to a dealer in Tokyo. Funny to discover the same tsuba on this specific site.... but yes, it is the same.....and i bought it without stickers..... .
PS. The price was less than 1/3 of the amount published in the site
Hi,
I have this tsuba with NTB certificate stating it's an Echizen Haruta school representative. I have no information on that school but it's an armorer family. Can you provide more information on this school ?
Thank you
Bruno
Hi , I would like to know if you have mokume gane tosogu in your collections. I have just purchased a kozuka made with this design of mixed metals. Is it rare as I do not see so many tsuba and kozuka made under this technic?
Thank you
Bruno
Hi my Tosogu friends experts.
I have a kozuka signed Goto Mitsuhiro and found a similar signature in the Kinko Meikan (page 494). Do you have information on who was this Goto family member?
Thank you
Bruno
Thanks Thomas. There are so many different opinions from high valued experts in this forum that the only solution will consist in having NBTHK validation. I do not pretend NBTHK knows more than NMB members but the certificate is generally considered as a strong clue.
