Brian Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 You do possess some lovely tsuba! Quote
Greg F Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 Hello Chen, Nice Tsuba. I very much like this design with pine tree and Samurai. Thank you for sharing. Greg Quote
HGT500H Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Wow. Beautiful. Very nice detail. Jason Quote

Bazza Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Empress Jingu lived long before the concept of "samurai" came into being (ca 2nd century AD), but just pop empress jingu into google for some interesting reading. This link in particular gives a synopsis of 10 samurai women: http://asianhistory.about.com/od/imagegalleries/ss/samuraiwomen.htm#showall Bestests, BaZZa. 1 Quote
kyushukairu Posted March 9, 2017 Report Posted March 9, 2017 Nice. I have fuchigashira with the same theme as your tsuba Thierry, though I thought it was Tomoe Gozen and Minamoto no Yoshinaka. I always had my doubts, however, as Yoshinaka died before Tomoe gave birth 1 Quote

CHEN CHEN Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Posted May 2, 2017 http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/26286?sortBy=Relevance&deptids=4&ft=*&offset=8319&rpp=20&pos=8331 I have just found in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Arts there is one and my like this collection. But I feel that this is not good. 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 CHEN CHEN,I like the work on the iron plate of the New York TSUBA, but it seems indeed that the soft metal execution is better on your TSUBA. Maybe all these TSUBA were made in a school workshop by different hands. Quote
CHEN CHEN Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Posted May 2, 2017 Yes, it is very likely that this is very interesting. My details are richer, and the saved state is better. Quote
Tigerinbamboo Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Hello, I am very interested in art related to women samurai. Do you know of any other tsuba portraying Empress Jingu, or Tomoe Gozen, or other women samurai? K. Doster Quote
