Tsuba with Kanji - Signature Mori Hisa?

[Kurikata]

Here , another tsuba with Kanjis to be translated.

 

The tsuba is a Kanji at itself.... But which One ? What is its meaning ? I saw similar tsuba with Monkeys....

 

As far as the signature is concerned the tag says it might be Mori Hisa. But I cannot recognize these Kanji on this Tsuba.

 

The tag says that this tsuba was sold in 1923 at de Haviland Action in Paris. It has also been in Ernest le Véel collection afterwards.

 

If you can copy me with the catalog pages, I would be more than happy.

 

Thank you for your help.

Bruno,

This tsuba label seems to say Morihisa of the Goto school.

I looked up Wakayama: Toso Kinko Jiten p.143 and he has this mei as Mori (not sure of reading... either Hiro, Tomo, Toshi?).

He is described as Shoami school, middle Edo period.

Another nice tsuba whose artist is listed in neither Haynes' Index ... nor his Addendum .... But mid-Edo, Shoami work seems an appropriate attribution.

Hi,

First two kanjis of 一以貫之 ,a sentence of the Analects of Confucius.

Thank you for this very interesting information.

 

In fact apparently, this sentence is very well known.

 

Thank you again

Perhaps George T. could be so kind as to copy the two kanji of this mei, as they are listed in the Tōsō Kinkō Jiten?

 

With grateful thanks, John L.

Here is most of the p.143 entry...over the page just says middle Edo...hope this is of some help.
