Soshin Posted March 30, 2019 Report Posted March 30, 2019 Happy Year of the Boar from Rain Dragon Fine Art and Antiques! Picked these menuki up at the Tampa show at the beginning of the month. Please feel free to share you own favorite boar themed Japanese sword fittings. Polite discussion is also welcome. 2 Quote

ankhearty Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Mr. Hennick, I have a Tosa Yoshi Mitsu tanto that has menuki identical to the pair on the right side of your photo. What can you tell me about them - who made them? Time period? Thanks, John Loughlin Quote
b.hennick Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Sorry John, I can't tell you anything about the menuki. Quote
John A Stuart Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 The only boar fitting I have is this kozuka. It is rather nice. John 3 Quote
Soshin Posted April 2, 2019 Author Report Posted April 2, 2019 I may have posted this before. Enjoy! boars.jpg Barry, Very nice complete matching set! Thanks for sharing. Quote
b.hennick Posted April 2, 2019 Report Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks. The tsuba and menuki on the right came together, next the fuchi and finally the last pair of menuki. Patience is needed in this hobby. 1 Quote
