    Saw some sets of those buttons at an antiques fair the other day. Not cheap!

    Day trip up to Leeds if you can make it...

    The second kanji looks more like a different -nari, i.e. 成 Nice object!
  4. Bugyotsuji
    Maybe an X-ray would pick up more definition?

    Alex, that is painful to look at. I am in danger here of breaking the 11th Commandment. ”Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s sword.”

    Specifically Nihontō alone in quality and large quantity maybe no, but the Wallace Collection in London is well worth seeing, as is the Tower of London, plus the arms and armour in the Japan section of the Royal Armories in Leeds.

    Colin (Matsunoki) is an expert in this field.

    Although it says 細川家, Hosokawa Household, I suspect that someone has simply added that later.

    “Who were the Shōami tsuba makers in Japan?“ I just fed that into ChatGPT.
  10. Bugyotsuji
    Correct
  11. Bugyotsuji
    The tsuba is unfortunately just too large to go on a tanto which has inlay of silver arrows all over the koshirae.
  12. Bugyotsuji
    Besides the two seppa washers, you also seem to be missing the fuchi rim fitment for the tsuba end of the tsuka haft. See ‘metal sleeve fuchi’ in the illustration above.
  13. Bugyotsuji
    Is there such a Japanese name as 求助 Kyūsuke?
  14. Bugyotsuji
    See this for reference, Keio/Meiji, Yamashiro, Kyoto.

    Did you buy a single lot at auction, Kirill?
