docliss Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 I have a fine daisho pair of tsuba by Hamano Naotoshi in a very high quality Kiri box that bears an inscrption on one end. Two of these kanji are 'Naotoshi' but the others have me beaten. I am particuklarly interested in the left-hand kanji, partially obliterated, which bears a similarity to that used by Torigoye. With many thanks, John L. Quote
docliss Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Posted October 30, 2013 Thank you Morita san for that - who would have guessed it! But would you please tell me what is the last, multi-stroke and rather complicated kanji? With my thanks, John L. Quote
k morita Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 Hi, Maybe,last kanji is two kanjis, 朱(vermilion color) and 鍔(tsuba). vermilion color tsuba. Is your the tsuba vermilion color or brownish color? Quote
docliss Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Posted October 30, 2013 Thank you once again Morita san. The tsuba are in fact hi-iro-do. John L. Quote
k morita Posted October 30, 2013 Report Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks for reply. I see. "hiiro-do"color 緋色銅 Quote
