boat theme tsuba

[Bungo]

seen this somewhere but can't recall where( books, that is ).

There's a similar boat theme with wave in the Yagyu design but the treatment of the wave is quite different.

Any opinion as to school ?

about 7.5 cm across, 0.45 cm thick, there hammer work?bones ? on mimi, or could be just heavy rust pits..........

okie dokie, everyone speechless about das boot.....................

 

here's another one for kantei fun..................one of my favorite ( I don't know what it is so I don't have the answer, but it's not a ko-shoami or any ami I can think of )

 

6cm x 6.6 cm x 0.3 cm.

many layers/folds construction.

 

Besides the theme of Tomoe, what school is it ?

Milt,

 

The boat design has popped up before as Yagyu, I guess largely because of the construction.

 

This design is mostly a standard Namban design. It pops up in Shoami too. I think yours is a Shoami example.
