Akasaka Tsuba ?

[Kurikata]

Hi,

 

considering the design, the mimi shape, I would consider this tsuba being from AKASAKA school. But is it not as fine as Tadamasa one's for example. Can some one give his views on this tsuba ?

 

Thank you

Dimensions?  especially _thickness_ ?

 

Akasaka design. Most of what I see in your image looks like mid to later Akasaka.

It also could be Tosa Myochin, as they copied Akasaka designs and I've sometimes made error to mid-late Akasaka when NBTHK went on to say Tosa Myochin.

Curran,

 

this tsuba is 7,40 cm high by 6,80 cm large and 0,6 cm thick.

 

Thank you

Hello:

 It is a strong and clever design, and it shows movement with strength. Given the coin-like shape of the seppa-dai I would guess Ko Shoami.

Hello:

 If you would like to do some browsing I would suggest the gold and silver Sasano books.

Thank you to all of you. Tosa Myochin would be an excellent potential choice. After more instigation, definitively it is not Akasaka. Thank you again to all of you.
