    Bamboo fence tsuba

    Gunome replied to Kurikata's topic in Tosogu

    Hello, I had the opportunity to see this tsuba in hand. For me it is not cast. Ok mei is crude, and it is not a great/tight iron quality, but for me it is forged, and have a nice design. IMHO, all posts where photos were circled in red or blue show legits doubts when you just see photos. I looked at the hole in the square, seppa dai, bamboo nodes, etc... for me nothing indicate it is cast. Of course, it is just an opinion and I could be wrong

    Hello, Yes, I sent him a message on the group of our sword club. He replied me on Wednesday evening saying he is back, and with a joke. I didn't asked, but I guess he is probably busy and will post a message here soon.

    I have never heard of this. Do you know if it would work to repatinate a shakudo insert on an iron tsuba by exposing it to the sun? how long would it take? sorry for the off-topic

    Here is one of my tsuba with a similar umbrella but not the rain. Mei : Sadahiro

    Hello, Thanks for your replies For me, no issue on the nakago, it is ubu and looks consistent with the blade. The color difference is just the shadow because I have the light in my back when I taken the photos.

    Hello, Excepted the Ju, I cannot identify the other kanji of this mei on a Koto tanto. Too tricky for me due to bad condition of the nakago. Also the strokes are thin. Does anyone has an idea on the mei ? Thanks

    Shunga menuki

    Gunome replied to lonely panet's topic in Tosogu

    Piers, unfortunately I didn't bought it too. No funds at this time. Robert, indeed, you could find some tosogu with better carving quality. But here you need to consider the sliding screen workmanship. Not sure it is easy to do. I never see another example since. Nive to know there may be another one like this one ?!

    Gunome replied to jelda44's topic in Tosogu

    Hello, I noticed this tsuba is for sale at Zacke. A shame it has been split of the rest of its sword to be sold alone. https://www.zacke.at...&sd=0&pp=48&pn=6&g=1
