    Sweet little tsuba

    EdWolf posted a topic in Tosogu

    Hi all, Yesterday I have bought this sweet little tsuba. I'm very pleased with it and like to share my excitement with you. The details are very well executed. Does anybody know the meaning of the sword in the river. Please feel free to comment. Regards, Ed

    I need some help with this mei. I think it read something like Sato Kanesumi Saku Kore but i still missing a part. This type of writing is hard to read. Thanks in advance for helping me out. Regards, Ed

    tsuba era EDO

    EdWolf replied to rodrig4's topic in Tosogu

    Hi Rodriguez, Not sure but I think it's Yamashiro no Kuni Fushimi Ju Kaneiye.

    I think there is a simple explanation. Even today there are a lot of people who could not read or write but many if not all can write there own name.

    Thank you very much Moriyama san and Christian! Kunihiro is what I was looking for.

    A vague mei but I think it says kuniyoshi saki. Can one of you confirm or point me in the right direction. Thanks.

    It's from the Nagoya Army Arsenal. You can find more information about stamps in the download section. A great article by Bruce.

    Colin, Axel was asking about the tsuba of the wakizashi I was showing.
  14. EdWolf
    The only kozuka that I found so far is at the Met Museum. Not in the exact style but close. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/29708

    Axel, Don't think tsuba is made turtle shell, maybe some kind of horn. mokune-gane is definitely something you don't see frequently. I'm still searching for a matching kozuka.
  16. EdWolf
    Hi Axel, Thanks for sharing. I have a wakizashi with mokumegane fuchi-kashira.

    Hi Piers, I have only one tsuba with horse theme. Hope you like it.

    Thank you Mauro for your opinion. Interesting, I shall do some further research.

    Hi all, I really like the design of the tsuba but I have trouble to identify a school. For me there are no recognizable typical features to determine a school. Diameter 70mm, thickness 3mm. Don't know if it is possible to determine. Hope you guys can help me. regards, Ed

    Hi David, thanks for your opinion. Highly appreciated. I totally agree with you that the tsuba is showing signs of forging. Regards, Ed
  21. EdWolf
    @FlorianB thanks for your help. The dimensions are: Width 67 mm height 70 mm en thickness 4-5 mm.
  22. EdWolf
    I have tried to take some better pictures of the tsuba. I don't believe it is cast, no worries from my side. @Okan, thanks for showing a similar design. I also thought it could be Shoami.

    Hi Dan, Thanks for your post. I have compared the tsuba with your pictures but the texture is definitely not the same. I shall try to take better pictures tomorrow. Hard to take pictures without proper daylight. No crack in the seppa-dai. Regards, Ed

    Unfortunately, no provenance at all. Not sure about painted but it is not easily removed by rubbing. You guys are probably right. Leave it, part of the tsuba history. Thanks to all!
  25. EdWolf
    Hello all, Picked up this tsuba. There is a small number painted on it. Maybe an inventory number. Would you remove it or leave it? If removing, how to approach without damaging the tsuba. Thanks for your help. Regards, Ed
