Thank you Steve in helping me to progress.... Finnaly , why signature couldn't be : 後藤 弟子廣利 (Goto deshi Hirotoshi) Would this make sense?
-
Thank you for your comments. This tsuba (modern or not) shows great skills in inlaying flat shakudo in a very tense suaka base. The shakudo mimi in addition make me think the tsubako wasn't a "beginner". Anyway I would like to know who is that artist if any one can help. Thank you again

Jean, just to add another exemple of a wooden tsuba representing Daruma....

Hello, This signature is quite difficult to decipher to me. I guess it might be Hirotoshi on the left side. But on the right one ? What the meaning of the gourd like seal ? Thank you for your help Bruno

Without better pictures no chance to have an answer..... At glance my feeling is this tsuba is a fake.....

Don Bayney in London is a very nice person to deal with. I purchased several Tosogu to him. A very good choice.....

Thank you guido and Uwe. I'll be in detox in Berlin therefore

Chris This second one looks much better and after some gentle cleaning would look great. I hope you'll have the opportunity to buy it.

Hi Chris, as usual it is question of taste and price. If they are cheep and you like them, buy them..... But from my perspective this Soten like Tsuba on you picture is in very poor condition. Feel free to compare with much better exemples (https://www.lempertz.com/en/catalogues/lot/1034-1/794-an-iron-tsuba-soten-school-18th19th-century.html). Personnaly I would keep my money..... Cheers

My turn to spend some days in Berlin by next week...... Can our German members provide updates on the following topic : What a Nihonto& Tosdogu Collector has to see in Berlin (but the "Ost Asiatische Kunst Museum")? Thanks

My humble view: cast reproduction

Thank you Steve for your strong support.

Thank you gentlemen Thank you Jean and John to have open a door with "Haru". The way kanji are pronounced make the reading quite tricky... Thank you Steve to have found the "correct" tsubashi. In fact I have recognized in Haynes the right person with signature 柳川春秋-> H 00766.0 Steve, would you kind enough to copy me the page Wakayama page 264?
-
Thank you Mauro, I don not see any 春秋 - Shunjū, in my books and even, if the theme of the tsuba might be "Spring and Autumn" I hardly consider that an artist would have taken such a name. Especially with a kaho behind. Gimei protentially ? but why to have choosen such an unknow artist name ? More questions than answers......
-
Hello, I need some help for the second Kanji - I guess first Kanji is Shun. Would it be Shunjyu & Kao ? Than you for your help Bruno

And another Yamakichibei of mine as apparently each collection should have one......

Thank you Peter and Franco. Those are good exemples. Cheers
