Funada Ikkin Tsuba

[Kurikata]

Hi,

 

I was wandering if somoneone could help me in getting details on this Tsuba of my own collection?

 

Based on a Kozuka (#81) of "Claude THUAULT collection - KOZUKA 100", it could be a FUNADA IKKIN Tsuba style (Haynes 01864) .

 

Thank you for your comments and clues.

Hi Bruno.

 

I can see why you are heading in that direction but almost any artist trained in that school could be a possibility. Have a look at this thread, viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11103

 

All the best.

I wouldn't think his work would be unsigned. But it is nice...love that bamboo.

So, would you call this shape mokko gata or maru gata? If mokko, that's a really interesting way to shape it!
