Congrats, it looks like an authentic tsuba and I like the design showing an ear of rice with gold highlights. Looks like work by the Bushu school, I have a similar tsuba with gold highlighted water drops.

Looks to be an authentic tsuba and not a modern cast copy. I agree with Jean, it doesnt look like typical Soten school work.

I would second the idea that it depicts mist rather than a flood, although I can't explain the angle of the Toriii, which looks very odd. Best, Tom

Dear all, I would be most grateful if someone could help translate the mei on this tsuba, I believe it says Hashimoto. Many thanks, Tom

Here's one from my collection, lilys from the Choshu school.

Hello Mark, I'm afraid to my eye this has all the hallmarks of being a modern cast.

Exactly... the fuchi and kashira are matching with 7 sages in total and you can see they are all in a bamboo grove. Best, Tom

Hi Paul, The fuchi depict the Seven Sages of Bamboo Grove, which is a fairly popular theme: https://en.wikipedia..._of_the_Bamboo_Grove The menuki are more difficult to make out, but seem to show dragons chasing a pearl in the waves. Hope that helps. Tom
