HonjoMasamumei Posted December 1, 2017 Report Posted December 1, 2017 My Mito tsuba and matching fuchi kashira. Bought months apart, they're clearly made by different artists but they still happened to match perfectly regarding their size and design. :D Tsuba: Mumei, NBTHK Hozon F/K: Naoyoshi (Kao), NTKK Both made from shibuichi. 1 Quote

Curran Posted December 2, 2017 Report Posted December 2, 2017 Expecting George, but got Guido! Thank you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_Chuyi While we're here- the tsuba is definitely Mito. There is a fair chance it is product of the Uchikoshi School, a popular late Edo sub-school within the larger Mito Group. https://books.google.com/books?id=OPfhAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA314&lpg=PA314&dq=uchikoshi+school&source=bl&ots=_mJtSM8R6g&sig=jUTfUjnmmB7SxdvKpZxtTsigL8U&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiL5ZW-tOrXAhWE8CYKHY6zA3gQ6AEINzAC#v=onepage&q=uchikoshi%20school&f=false I won't go into detail as to why, and I won't bet my life on it.
