Information about my Tsuba

[Jason Williams]

Request some information on a TSUBA I have attached to this post. It came with the Nihonto I purchased last year and I was wondering if anyone has seen one like this in the past? I don't have any concerns about it just interested in some information. I have been told it was from the Edo period but that is the extent of the information.

 

I am not sure what the pattern is supposed to represent.

 

 

Thank you,

Jason

Hello,

 

The design is a nata, a Japanese tool, and 2 udenuki ana.

I could be wrong, but it looks more recent than edo.

Request some information on a Tsuka (TSUBA?) I have attached to this post. It came with the Nihonto I purchased last year and I was wounding (wondering?) if anyone has seen one like this in the past? ......

Jason,

 

if you turn the photo 90° to the right you may probably see a NATA, a Japanese hatchet. It is frequently seen, I even have a TSUBA with a NATA for sale.

Jason,

 

It kind of has the look of this one on Bill Rannow's website.
