Tsuba Theme

[Mark C]

Hi All,

 

This sukashi tsuba is on a recently aquired wak. I've looked in my limited library and can't find anything simular. Can anyone please let me know the theme.

 

Measurements are 2 5/8 high, 2 3/8 wide and 3/16 thick.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Here is a tsuba somewhat similar. Mine looks a little like Mickey mouse hats. I think that they may be drawer pulls.

Hi Mark. This looks like a combination of Joge Inome (up and down boars eyes) and either bracken (probably) or Permissons (perhaps).

Boar eyes (12 and 6 o'clock) and persimmon (3 and 9 o'clock). I have a tsuba with similar persimmon sukashi, although the proportions of yours persimmon are a little odd. Mike

Hi All,

 

Thanks for the reply's. I now know what permisson and boar eyes are, the wife thought they were love hearts :lol:

 

But I did like the idea of Mickey mouse's hat

 

I will have to work on the photography as mine has the color of Richards.

 

Mike - Out of interest, when you say proportions are odd, do you mean sort of squashed?

 

Again Many thanks for all your help

Persimmons. Permissions are what we need to get from our wives before we buy anything.
