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

tsuba Katzuyuki But Some Missing Kanji On Ura Side
Kurikata replied to Kurikata's topic in Translation Assistance
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.... -
tsuba Katzuyuki But Some Missing Kanji On Ura Side
Kurikata posted a topic in Translation Assistance
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

PM sent for the Menuki

Thank you Malcom, That's an interesting angle. The Axe and the gourd as a Budhist symbol is a new door to be opened on this tsuba. Thank you again

@ Steve : Thank you Steve for you efforts.... It is always very helpful to have someone knowing Japanese cultural angles @ Brian: I would strongly support you in having Ford giving some clues, especially when we come to metal work. @ Peter: Should you find the artist names... You are more than welcome. In addition, I scanned the Tsuba for an other metal analysis....

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.....

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.
