    Thank you Sébastien and Bernard for your views. I purchased this Tsuba at a very low price and was wondering if something was wrong with it.

    Laurentiu looks goo to me but be aware of the numerous "Kizu" at "Mon" levels. Cheers

    A paper weight?

    Hi Richard, that's a good possibility camparing rough iron style of some saotome tsuba. I take this scenario as a potential school. thanks again.

    Thank you "SalaMarcos" for your interest. Nevertheless, sorry to desagree on your assessment. Efugo being " basket" in Japanese, as the design apparently looks much more as a fan (jigami) I doubt it can be described as efugo sukashi..... Having the tsuba in hands, I can garantee it is not "tosho" as the mimi is not as thin a tosho tsuba should be.... Thank you again....

    Thank you Peter, Nobody else can give examples? Apparently he is a low average smith: Name | Gen | Date/time | Province | Toko | Hawley | Level | Point | HIROTOKI | 1st | KAN-BUN 1661| MINO | 530 | HIR 445 | JO-SAKU | 300 |

    Hi, I have been offered a Wakisashi signed :常陸守藤原廣辰 - Hitachi no kami fujiwara Hirotoki Does someone has swords signed by this smith? Any information on him (http://nihontoclub.com/smiths/HIR445) would be highly appreciated. Thank you

    Thank you Ian and "merci" Thierry After seaching in books and on some web sites, I have no better clues than yours. So let's drive this tsuba has being in the Myochin school spirit with Jiagami (地紙) design. Cheers

    Hi Tosogu experts, I purchased a Tsuba today without knowing nothing.... Metal : iron with a copper insert at one hitsu ana level. Size: 82 mm X 80 mm What is the design of the two large hitsu ana (Baskets?) It looks quite old but is to really beginning of Edo ? What is the reason for the copper insert ? Is it part of the design? All views on this Tsuba are warmly welcome. Thank you

    Robert, I did not see the film but the IKEDA MISSION is quite famous in France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikeda_Nagaoki

    If found a similar tsuba and discussion from 2009 on the site : http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/4663-tsuba-help/
  23. Kurikata
    Thank you Sébastien and Steven. Does it mean that the Tsubako Katzuyuki has stated that the tsuba is "from a design of Kano Tan'Yu Morinobu"? I will try to detect the Kano school paint with the design of the plum tree on my tsuba....
  24. Kurikata
    Hi, I just bought this tsuba. Omote side is signed Katzu Yuki if I refer to my books (please confirm). But what about Ura side ? I have deciphered one Kanji as being YU in the middle. But what about the 2 other ones ? __YU__ + Gourd Please, I need some help Thank you Bruno
