Tsuba Mei

[kissakai]

Hi

I was trying to find this mei but it seems very vague

The first kanju may be Tama but them the second one looks like Shu so that doesn't make sense

Edit - I've just found the kanji for Tamagawa which may fit

The last three kanji are too vague for me to guess at

 

 

 

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Thierry

That looks right to me - thanks

I sure this is a basic tsuba that someone has 'added' a mei

Is this the general consensus?

The colour is a bit better than shown in the images

I thnk Thierry nailed it. Tamagawa Yoshihisa saku. 玉川美久作

The style of this tsuba (the design) is similar to other tsubas made by Tamagawa Yoshihisa.

Many thanks Steve

I thought it to be a copy - When I google the mei it only showed tsuba much better than this one

In Haynes Tamagawa Yoshihisa (H11642 - H11646) has multiple entries with the same kanji

I've also looked in the Kinko Meikan and Wakayama and can not find a match

Is there any information on Steve's link that may help pin it down to a particular maker?

Thanks for the replies

Can anyone give me a translation (the main parts) on the papered tsuba in the link?
