vajo Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 Dear Gentleman Is it possible to take a look (picture) on tsuba with a oni theme? I know many pictures from museum tsuba with oni on it mostley kinko but i didn't see some from private collections. Thank you for your time Regards Quote
Stephen Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 So that where all those Chinese copy's come from. 1 Quote

Ford Hallam Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 Chris, you can search many on-line collections (images in great quality) at The MFA Boston, The British Museum, The Met,NY, The Ashmolean, Oxford and many others. There and literally 1000's of images to search through. Quote
vajo Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Posted July 12, 2016 For sure Ford but i wonder why so less Tsuba with that motiv is in hands of private collectors. Maybe the most collect iron sukashi tsuba? Or I'm wrong? Quote
Ford Hallam Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 Chris, There are probably a few thousand collectors worldwide and tens of thousands of tsuba in private hands. I've seen dozens of oni on tosogu myself. I can think of at least 3 or 4 on the pieces I have here in my study right now. 1 Quote
vajo Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Posted July 12, 2016 My ask was to see some from the members here Ford. Maybe i hasn't find the right words to say what my intention was. I will take your advise and look for the online museum. But if members on this board have some i would be happy to see some of them. Regards Quote
Kevin Adams Posted July 12, 2016 Report Posted July 12, 2016 I always wonder what to make of requests to see what's in peoples' collections, without a stated purpose to the request. Are you researching something specific? Quote
FlorianB Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Meanwhile I’m wondering, too, about the request. Do You want to get in contact with collectors of this special topic to exchange experience and knowledge? Sincerly, Florian Quote
vajo Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Posted July 13, 2016 I would like to see some Tsuba with Oni motiv nothing more. A friend told me that there are a lot of Oni Tsuba out there but the only ones that i know are in museum around the world. So i think that they are rare in private hands. I'm right? Quote
b.hennick Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 You often find oni and shoki together. Look on John Bertas Web site Gaijin. Com Be is in the dealer list. He had two - one used to be mine. Regards, Barry Hennick Quote
Kurikata Posted July 13, 2016 Report Posted July 13, 2016 Sorry, it is not a tsuba but an Oni Kurikata...... I can imagine should it be a tsuba Quote
