Randy McCall Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 In my searches in some of the Japanese online auction sites, I came across an Edo period tracing / illustration of a blade with what seems to be a most unusual tsuba.Since I can't read the Classic Japanese labeling and text next to the image, thought I'd post it here for commenting by any interested members.
