Hi all,

 

What Tsuba are most sought after?

 

Images, etc.

 

Cheer, Greg

[Bugyotsuji]

By whom? Russians? Europeans? Canadians? 

 

What Tsuba do you like best, Greg?

[ROKUJURO]

Round ones.

[vajo]

Greg Tsuba depends on Taste. I buy what i like.

 

But if you want to collect high quality schools look for Hayashi, Kanayama, e.g.

[barnejp]

Is Yamasaka Kichibei round...?

[vajo]

I think Jean was joking Greg 

[PNSSHOGUN]

Always fancied the Shingen Tsuba.

[TETSUGENDO]

Lately, this place seems weirder every time I log in.

[Kurikata]

how many Umetada Myoju tsuba still are registered all over the world?

[Rich S]

I prefer old iron. Any school; especially like Saotome/Tenpo and Yamakichibei and Hoan.

Heianjo & Yoshiro, & an occasional Onin.

Why do you ask?

Kaneie and Yasuchika tend to be very pricy. Then around 20-30k usd you’ll meet every big name in the book from early Goto ending around Tokujo, first generation Nobuie, Goto Ichijo, somin and many others.

Good morning,

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong or misunderstanding, however, it's my understanding that tsuba making began with Tokujo in mainline Goto. I've never seen nor heard of a tsuba being made by any of the first four generations.

[Frank B]

Yes, I do not believe any tsuba were made prior to Tokujo.

[Rivkin]

Thank you for correcting me - it was more appropriate to write: tsuba by tokujo.

Thank you, sorry for the mishap.

I wanted initially to mention somewhat wider range of names but to my shame just realized I don't remember the next 2 generations of goto and due to move writing from cell phone is not enticing to fact check.

[TETSUGENDO]

I believe they are Eijo, followed by Kenjo....if my recollection is correct.
