Higo Tsuba

[Kurikata]

Hi all Higo fans,

 

I got this tsuba recently and was wondering what kind of Sub school this tsuba might be:

 

Hayashi ?

Nishigaki?

Kamiyoshi ?

 

Thank you for your views on it

Maybe Edo Higo?

I agree with Mauro.

Mauro- thanks for posting an image that supports the opinion. I had no similar Edo Higo images saved down to illustrate.

Thank you Mauro and Curran,

 

In addition to confirm your views , I found a similar tsuba on NMB belonging to Crhis at that time:

Thank you again

Hi, here below what I've found in my records about tsuba papered Edo Higo by NBTHK.  The last one (bottom right in the second image) has a Kumagai school attribution. As far as I see, a partial stylistic overlap between Edo Higo and Jingo seems quite evident.

Bye, Mauro
