    Is this Soten?

    Looks to be an authentic tsuba and not a modern cast copy. I agree with Jean, it doesnt look like typical Soten school work.
  2. 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
  3. Thanks Okan, wonderful workmanship, a beautiful set of f/k.
  4. They are adorable, I would love to see some close up pics. Thanks for sharing!
  5. Happy to see you back Dale
  6. Hello Hamfish, Yes it was a recent purchase on Jauce.
  7. Thank you both for your help, I appreciate it.
  8. 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
  9. Enjoying this thread a lot, some wonderiful pieces on show. Two more from me: Akasaka Musashino sukashi tsuba showing pampas grass with dew drops and another with a Yatsuhashi and Iris design in sukashi.
  10. Here's one from my collection, lilys from the Choshu school.

    Is this a cast?

    Hello Mark, I'm afraid to my eye this has all the hallmarks of being a modern cast.
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. I've got broken fans to add.
