    Mokume Tsuba

    Kurikata replied to Heringsdorf's topic in Tosogu

    One of the tsuba I recently purchased on Ebay......

    Thank you Ford fo your explanations. In fact with a close look of the body it seems that it is gilded. I purchased this Tsuba $ 100, 10 years ago at a Gallery with name "Circle in the Moon Antiques" in Cherry Hill - New Jersey in the US and they described this Tsuba as been Myochin..... I do not know if this business is still existing..... Thank you again

    HI, I need some help on this Tsuba Size is 7,8cm - Shape is round - Metal is iron with shakudo and sentoku inclusion. My guess is that it is a nara school tsuba but not vey sure on my opinion. Can you confirm? Topic might be Oshioko back on his ox. But in my case, he is not playing a flute.... Would it be another story? Thank you for your help Bruno

    Kurikata replied to Shugyosha's topic in Tosogu

    Definitively A mito School tsuba in the Hironaga school style. But signature seems not appropriate....

    Hi Tosogu experts, I know a tsuba signed Zuiryûken Hidetomo - 随柳軒英友 (Mito School by end of 19th century)) in the museum of Fine arts in Boston: (http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/tsuba-in-the-form-of-a-caparisoned-elephant-18931) Does someone has other tsuba or kodogu examples of this artist ?Can you provide some pictures? Any information on him is welcome. Thank you

    One Kiri Mon tsuba to be sold at auction in the coming days in Paris....
  17. Kurikata
    Grey, it is interesting to have fixed a barrier at $ 1000 to distinguish two categories of Kodogu. The market is moving and apparently it seems that in the US under $1000 kodogu are not that valuable (or difficult to be sold) . In France, at auctions, this barrier is more or less the same as Tsuba estimated more or less in a range of € 500/600 are sold above € 1000. Do you think we have reached a point of having a global worldwide market ? Cheers Bruno

    Please refer to one example sold at a French auction House in April this year:

    Morita San and Curran, Thank you so much for the information. Obviously Shozui/Masayuki being a "big name" I had no doubt on the potential gimei. I'll try to find the paint/scroll from Toshinaka which has inspired this kozuka design. Thank you again Bruno
