Daso Posted August 15, 2016 Report Posted August 15, 2016 Sorry, but I wasn't sure what school or style these Tsuba are considered. One looks like Katchushi but I don't think it is? Both about 3" in diameter. Thanks, Darius Quote

I looked all over having remembered seeing a similar style on the first one but didn't find anything thanks for the advice. Regards, Darius Quote
Alan Morton Posted August 15, 2016 Report Posted August 15, 2016 First one looks like Kumagi or even a bit like Jingo carving to me Alan Quote
Daso Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Posted August 15, 2016 First one looks like Kumagi or even a bit like Jingo carving to me Alan Alan, yes it does look very much like a bland version of a Higo Kumagai that I looked up after your comment. You mention that for the first, but I think you meant second Tsuba with the sort of raised star right?. Thanks for your eyes on it. Regards , Darius Quote
Alan Morton Posted August 17, 2016 Report Posted August 17, 2016 Hi Darius, No I did mean the first tsuba and the second does have that Higo bobbin design but they don't usually have a dote mimi like that one. Alan. Quote

Daso Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Posted September 3, 2016 I've added some more pictures to see if anyone can clue me in to what style or school if any these might be. They were part of a package of other items I wanted. Quote
Gunome Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Hello, I would said: First one, a nanban school tsuba second one, may be an Ito sukashi school tsuba if the line are opened in thin sukashi Quote
Daso Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Posted September 7, 2016 Gunome, thank you for the help. The sukashi on the second tsuba (star pattern) are fairly thin. I will look into those schools further. Appreciate it. Regards, Darius Quote
