sounds familiar with my reported cases. Enjoy the Tsuba and close this case

I will follow the post in case it shows up somewhere later. Had the Tsuba on my view for a while so I might recognize it. — offtopic: I had several several similar cases here in France. The delivery driver even signed himself with my name and a fake signature. After filing an official complaint the items were delivered by another driver same day. All this looked very suspicious to me. I suspect him to make money with the cases in which people dont complain. Or personel situation forces them to trick their System to manipulate performance e.g. „delivered in time“

I think its leaning towards the Owari tradition. Clearly classical Akasaka style. How about four dragonflies flying outwards?

Hey Dee, I agree aswell. This one looks legit Best wishes, Tobi

Kyo Shoami - Itomaki Hanabishi - NBTHK Hozon certificate - sold

Small update: Sugawara Denju Tanarai Kagami - sold Late Edo Owari - sold

Did you already consider there were several generations of Tadatoki active? there were more an less skilled workers active. Shinsa is always a good way to get proof your signature is authentic - if you think its a work from a better artist. But you wont get the attribution to a generation obviously. Perfect condition reference pieces published or from famous collections (e.g. pieces with a good story to tell) are more expensive than the common things. 5k is ofc high above - for me at least. but if someone wants to have it to him/her it might be reasonable. if you aquire all of them maybe you can figure out which generation and maker it was? 😇 Best wishes, Tobi

unf(a/i)nished? Holding it for a while and still no clue about the school.
