  1. Alex , this tsuba looks very similar to this one : https://www.aoijapan.com/tsubamumei-ko-kacchushi-cloud-moon-design
  2. Thank you all of you for you kind advices (Steve) and again for your expertise (Morita San). Once again my feeling is "The more I know, the less I know"
  3. Hello, I has those two kanji on a tsuba box containing an Heianjo Tsuba... It down not look as 平安 (Heianjo) Does someone can give me an help on the meaning of such Kanji? Thank you
  4. Thank you Grev. World It be possible To get a picture of your Tsuba?
  5. So... Let it say ... Shoami
  6. John, That's a very interesting proposal. When googling translation of 霊帆, you obtain Rei Ho = Sacred sail.... Which is close the design on the Kozuka.... Would it only be by chance ? Thank you any way.
  7. Brian, Thank you for this very clear explanation as I had the same concerns as explained by Sébastien.I hope Morita San is around to be able to decypher such a seal.Thank you all of you for the interest shown for my kozuka.
  8. Thank you Steve. Is it stated that the Kozuka is mumei ?
  9. No clues?
  10. Hi , I have this tsuba in my collection for several years now. I have not succeeded in finding a school or any influence.... Does someone has an idea? Size is 3 1/8" (marugata) large and almost 1/8" thick. Thank you.
  11. Hi , I got a kozuka with a NBTHK certificate. Can someone translate the Kozuka description (Column 3 & 4 from the tight side)? Once translated, I'll post a picture of the Kozuka. Thank you
  12. Good attempt as a large number of tanaka tsubako names have this kanji is their name(Toshi 俊). Apparently this Yoshitugu is the "Takahashi Yoshitsugu" who died at 32 in 1873 (Haynes 12247) and who is from the Tanaka Toryusai school.
  13. Probably Shoami indeed
  14. Fashion, trend, has also an impact on the value for such Tsuba. I remember, end of last century , it was very fashionable to have a Tokei style tsuba in a collection (Owari school or not) and prices might go extremely high. You can find some at any price: https://www.aoijapan.net/tsuba-mumei-unsigned-tokei-tsuba/ https://www.aoijapan.com/tsuba-mumei-the-clock/ Depends you taste and if the tsuba is appealing to you
  15. Dear Morita San, What would be the NMB without you ? Thank you so much
  16. Sébastien, Thanks to Randy very good advise, I purchased Markus book on seals... in fact I think I fund the first Kanji which could be: 冰 Does someone can indicate if he/she knows an artist name with such Kanji ? 冰邑
  17. One Turtle from an old french collection....
  18. Thank you to all of you for your comments and your new paths on this tsuba... This seal is still resisting any decryption..... Perhaps someone has a key...... Who knows.....
  19. Hello , I tried to find out in my books who might be this tsubako but without success for the time being? By any chance someone could have an idea? Thank you
  20. A shock. A very nice guy collecting tsuba with humility and taste.
  21. Johnny, your tsuba is quite nice from my perspective and I agree not as old as Ko Tosho or Ko Kachushi. But I am tempted by a Myochin or saotome influence. I have a similar one ....(http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/19313-i-know-nothing-the-school-the-design-the-age/)
  22. Two other Tsuba I got from this collection......
  23. Than you Ron for your views on my tsuba. It size is 3 1/16" Bruno
  24. Nobody has an Opinion?
