School for this tsuba ?

[francois2605]

Hello,

 

I recently bought this tsuba because I really liked the patina and the delicate and unusual design. I tried identifying the school by searching a tsuba with a similar design to no avail.

 

Can someone please point me in the right direction ?

 

Thanks very much

Oh nice. That is lovely old iron. I know nothing but will guess. The seppa dai makes me think Owari but the hitsu ana say Higo to me.

Hello:

 From the seppa-dai and kebori it appears to be a late Kyo-sukashi.
