Kurikata Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 Hi, I just bought this tsuba. Omote side is signed Katzu Yuki if I refer to my books (please confirm). But what about Ura side ? I have deciphered one Kanji as being YU in the middle. But what about the 2 other ones ? __YU__ + Gourd Please, I need some help Thank you Bruno Quote
Gunome Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 Hello Bruno, Nice tsuba ! Kanji in the gourd looks like Morinobu 守信 Sébastien Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 Greetings All, Yes, reading is Morinobu- it is one of the seals used by Kano Tan'Yu. The design of your Tsuba is from one of his works -StevenK Quote
Kurikata Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Posted March 26, 2016 Thank you Sébastien and Steven. Does it mean that the Tsubako Katzuyuki has stated that the tsuba is "from a design of Kano Tan'Yu Morinobu"? I will try to detect the Kano school paint with the design of the plum tree on my tsuba.... Quote
