peterd Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 Would this soft metal tsuba be classed as Soten School or Gimei? All opinions welcome and sorry about the poor focus! Doesn't show all the great detail. Many thanks, Pete Quote
John A Stuart Posted July 22, 2013 Report Posted July 22, 2013 Actually signed 宗典 , and of the type. Whether a legitimate Soten mei, ?? Carving is of better class than most copyists produce. John Quote
docliss Posted July 23, 2013 Report Posted July 23, 2013 Personally, I dislike calling Aizu Shoami and Hiragiya copies of Soten tsuba as 'gimei', prefering to label them as Hikoni-bori work - a label I would apply to your tsuba. John L. Quote
