kissakai Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 HiI've put both these in the translation section rather than two posts This one was described as Kaneyasu or Kanesada + kaoTanaka school around 1850Although there is not much doubt about the kanji for Kane I'm unsure if the second kanji is correctAny help will be appreciated This is described as lacquer covered and I'm sure this is correct it almost looks like a leather covering which I suppose is impossibleI'd also appreciated any comments on its date school?

Robert Mormile Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Grev: Looks like 包芳 to me which would be Kaneyoshi. I will be interested to see what is said about the leather covered example. What does the other side and lateral look like? (Leather covered as well?) Robert Quote
kissakai Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Robert The reverse is pretty well the same that's why I only posted one side If there is enough interest I'll post the reverse of this tsuba Grev UK Quote
