Marius,
I am agree about the idea of a revival Namban theme and we don't discuss about it here.
Just want to understand What is behind the mei (gimei or not) and more understand the mei composition.
About datation, I'm maybe less severe than you :-)
Thank you Steve !
In Genealogies book by Markus Sesko I also found about Myochin : Munesuke Shikibu ki 22nd generation, is There a relation ?
Is Munesada references in Haynes ? Have we got his dates of life ?
Thanks
Hello,
When I saw this tsuba in sale I thought to another one in the Baronne Gérard's collection (Ader-Picard-Tajan, 27-11-1989), I don't know if it could be usefull for you ... Unfortunately the catalog of 1989 was not more talkative
Great tsuba !
Hello,
Just a simple question about this design, like a heart, in kage-sukashi : is there a word to designate it ?
All my apologize for the bad pictures,
Thanks !
Best regards
Hugues
Each case has a hole in the lower part where the base of the tsuba fits. The pedestals must be made to measure. They can thus put as much tsuba as case on display.

Yes I also noticed that the rooms devoted to Japan were reduced compared to the time of my studies at the Ecole du Louvre, do you know the reasons for such a choice from the currators ?
This post attracts all Frenchies of NMB
Happy new year,
Hugues
Yes Sébastien you are right, before it was an entire wall showcase, but we saw them less well.
I think with this new modular presentation there will be a turnover
Hello,
Greetings from Paris, Musée Guimet, where a new presentation of the tsuba collection was recently inaugurated !
The grid is modular and each box can contain a tsuba.
Regards
Hugues
