Hi, I have this mino goto tsuba and looking closer at the inlays I have detected what could be considered as some kanji. Is it in my dreams or can it be a kind of hidden signature ? Thank you for your views.

Jeremiah, is it the same tsuba ? http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/23354-sankei-tsuba-for-sale/

Similar one....

Brian, thank you for your kind comment and so happy to have you playing this very difficult role as a moderator. Hopefully the NMB can rely on you to keep on having a community respecting all points of views.

So as a conclusion, trends provide 3 directions: 1-modern fake tsuba ==》 no school 2- Higo school (Kanshiro?) 3- Akasaka (either Tadatoki 4th gen. or Tadamasa 2nd gen.) After some pictures provided privately by Sebastien (Gunome on NMB), I'll tend to think this tsuba beeing Akasaka. Thank you all of you (even Christian ) for your interest. have a nice week end all of you!

Chris, don't worry, all tsuba shown on NMB since several weeks are either fakes or modern reproduction even if they are coming from well known European collections since one century at least

Martin, it is said that seppa-dai form is a kantei point. I excluded akasaka school which is supposed to have a peak form at the top (and not rounded like mine) as Mauro exemple can show....

Hi Tosogu experts, I would like to have you views on this tsuba's school. Is it Kyo Sukashi, Higo, Tosa Myochin ? Thank you

I have this tsuba in my collection since 1992 and forgot it for a time. I think the seal signature is 永春 Naga haru (please confirm). This tsuba looks quite similar to several Sugiura Issando Nagaharu Joi tsuba seen on MFA or VAM sites. Once again this is a Nara school big name. What are your views on this tsuba and its signature ? Thank you Bruno

Hi Roger, I think the signature is: 正常 (masatsune) Not Ishiguro neither Tanaka. As for the bird I would consider it as a Kingfisher.

Ok Ford, fare enough. My concern is about having money to get a "tope "class" tsuba. I fully understand that I have purchased an AUDI A5 (my current car) as I thought is was an Aston Martin DB11 ( the car of my dreams - please refer to pictures) .They look similar but they do not have the same engines . Next time I'll try to earn enough money to get a real Ishiguro tsuba. Thank you for the lesson.
-
Thank you all of you for your interest on this tsuba. Obviously I am desepointed by Ford's comments as many of us would be, I presume. I will continue anyway to keep on being a tourist in this universe. I definitively like this tsuba and especially the two little monkeys which are trembling with fear.

I purchased this tsuba signed Ishiguro Mastsune tsukuru (石黒政常 造) and with a date of 1830 (Tenpō gannen (天保元年). As the first generation Masatsune died in 1828, I deducted he could be the second generation.Do you think the signature is legitimate and my conclusion is right? Thank you Bruno

I hope it helps

Hi Mark, it's a relatively large maru gata tsuba of 10,50 cm (i.e. 4,13 inch).

I have this one also (Katchushi)....

It's amazing how the NMB can open new horizons! I will finally understand the meaning of my AKITA SHOAMI tsuba (chapter 9/20/23 of the tale of Genji))....

Hi Robert, can we have a picture of this Tsuba similar to mine ?

Thank you Hamfish for your reply.I even did not notice that this specific design was linked with this specific generation.

I have recently purchased a sword with this tsuba which is signed TadaToki saku. I have difficulties to detect which tadatoki generation has signed it. Can someone give me a clue ? Thank you
