Thank you, both, sirs, for your very interesting and informative post!

Thank you for your very interesting and informative post!

Dear sirs,this is the second tsuba: made, maybe, by the master Koshu Sumishin. What do you think? Diameter: 8,5 cm. 191 grams

Goodmorning, sirs, I have bought a pair of misterious tsubas, coming from Tattori prefecture: this is the first one.. I don't know if the signature is genuine or from a copier, but I find interesting that the tsuba has writings over both the sides... Why? Has anybody any idea?

Thanks a million! Claudio.

Thank you, both, for everything. This has not been my very first buy, but they are my very first kashiras. Sorry: I didn't know that the images of the backs were important: I will enclose them as soon as possible. I will enclose my signature on the bottom, too and I will spend my time in studying. Regards, Claudio.

Thanks! Not at the moment: I am a newbie and not ready, yet: only for my information.

Dear sirs, is there anybody who has ever obtained a NTHK certificate for a tsuba? How does it work? Anybody could ask for an origami sending any tsubas or there are rules and selections and only the best ones can receive certificates? Thanks.

This is my very first post. I am a newbie, from Europe, so forgive me if I make mistakes. I have found no room for introduce myself, so forgive me if I directly ask for informations, here... I don't want to seem rude. At least I won't waste your time, chatting... Well: this is a recent buy I have done. Only junk to be studied, for novice, I suppose, nothing special. What do you think?
