Kurikata Posted November 25, 2018 Report Posted November 25, 2018 Hi, I have this tsuba in my collection for a while and considered it as a Kaga school one. But I always had some doubts. What are you views on it? Thank you Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted November 25, 2018 Report Posted November 25, 2018 Hi Bruno, It's an attractive piece but, I'd side with your doubts and say NO, design and workmanship are off standard and the gold Nunome zogan should be proper inlay. Close but not quite there. Cheers, -S- Quote
MauroP Posted November 25, 2018 Report Posted November 25, 2018 The iron ji and mixed inlay techniques makes me say Shoami (after all Shoami was a true school, not just a catch-them-all classification...) Mauro Quote
Kurikata Posted November 26, 2018 Author Report Posted November 26, 2018 Thank you Mauro and Pete. In that case let's go for Shoami. Shonai Shoami tsuba generally look quite different in style and technics.But who knows? Quote
