  1. Nice patina !
  2. 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 :-)
  3. Here two pictures of this tsuba, sold recently on the NMB . It does not seem to be so much from the late edo period like the Munesada mentionned ... ?
  4. 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
  5. What is the meaning of "Shikibu" in the mei ? Thanks
  6. 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 !
  7. Toutes mes condoléances, He was so friendly, he was always here to give his advice about tsuba, he helped me few days ago ... So sad ...

  9. Lot 221 Beautiful one
  10. Is it from Delefosse's collection ? Wonderful ! Hugues
  11. Great, is it also a family mon ? Merci ! H.
  12. Thanks a lot ! H.
  13. 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
  14. 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. H.
  15. That does not surprise me, and musée Guimet is not alone in France ...
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Unfortunately the texts of presentation are poor and little talkative about schools, materials and techniques ...
  19. 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
