Help with a sentoku tsuba

[Bernard]

Hello everybody,

I suppose that this tsuba deals with rice culture, but I am not quite sure and don't really understand what it depicts. Do you have an idea ? Can you identify its maker ?

Regards.

Hi Bernard.

 

Are you sufficiently bitten to start adding to your father's collection? He had a good eye. This one depicts scarecrows, rather imaginative ones at that. Another lovely tsuba.

 

All the best.

Bernard,

I think this thread will expand on the theme.

Bestests,

BaZZa.

Wow Bernard, another great one. Love your collection.

Thank you so much for your comments and informations, gentlemen.

I'm pleased that you like this tsuba and to know, at last, its theme. Reading of Brian's thread concerning his fine tsuba confirmed that it was not so easy to guess...

Best regards.
