San Diego tsuba

[kissakai]

Hi

I have three 'San Diego' tsuba

I looked at a previous link on this subject and found one of my tsuba in the image but the link to the website doesn't have very much detail

Does anyone have other images of the tsuba recovered?

I also know there is a book on this subject but I think tsuba will only be a small part of the book hence I haven't bought it

I wonder if any of the tsuba have been restored

As this was a valuable discovery especially as a dating guide I'd love to find out a bit more information

Thanks for the link but on the website they have the same tsuba twice!

I think the first image should show the tsuba, lower left of the group of tsuba

Any one know if any have been restored and how many tsuba were recovered

Hi Grev,

 

I think the term 'San Diego' is unnecessary. They are just Ko-Kinko tsuba from a shipwreck. Would love to see if some from the shipwreck often seen in the above photo have been restored.

Thanks for the replies and links which I enjoyed reading

I think the San Diego tsuba are important for styles and dates of the tsuba brought up from the wreck

Seems a shame there not any more information available
