Sukashi Tsuba

[kissakai]

Hi

I know this should be on the translation and I've no problem if this post is moved

I didn't put it on the correct section as in my opinion it has very limited appeal

 

I bought two very nice books from the NMB and I have a query with one below

 

 

The book was described as Sukashi tsuba but wondered if the title says more?

 

The book is in sections (generally schools) that I've translated but I can't find two of the headings:

Heianjô ? 平安城 透鐔

Akasaka ? 赤坂 鐔 後代

 

Can someone translate these for me?

 

Does anyone know if there a translation for this book?

 

 

With thanks

The title is "Sukashi Tsuba Shu" - see here:

Heianjo Sukashi Tsuba

Akasaka Tsuba Kodai (later generation)

 

Hope that helps

I forgot one chapter heading would you please translate this one for me?

 

時 圭

I think 時圭 means clock gear, as in tokei tsuba but is written slightly strangely - it is usually written 時計

 

Does that make sense based on what is in the chapter?

Hi James

Your translation is dead on!

I was looking for a school but there is another section that is just called beaded tsuba

 

 

Many thanks
