A very fine wave tsuba

[Alex A]

A new house move dictates the sale of a few very good tsuba, this one is a real beauty.

 

7.4 X 7.1 X 0.5CM at the seppa-dai.

 

School?, im not sure, so wont state one. It has had a few knowledgeable folk scratching their heads

 

Date?, I would say around 1700, but ive had other opinions stating earlier and later.

 

Looks to be Shakudo

 

One for Shinsa maybe, although not something ive ever felt necessary, just enjoyed it for what it is.

 

Sales page from when I bought it, Currans pics/description may help better than mine. Will try and add more if requested.

Will guarantee any new owner will not be disappointed, a stunner, love the way the design travels around the rim.

Did someone say Wave tsuba?

The title got me to look. Then I thought, "Hey, I know that tsuba!".

 

It was a good one. Not Higo.... I never could decide how to attribute it, and went back to looking for Higo wave tsuba.

Great 3-D tsuba.

It is a good one Curran, not one I intended selling, but at last I got somewhere I can build my Japanese garden, so needs must.

Just a few words to anyone interested, "pm sent" in my book does not confirm a sale, so if anyone is genuinely interested, please get in touch.

Is the Tsuba in the EU located?

[Alex A]

Hi Hawley, im in UK.so that's a yes, for a while, not really sure for how much longer, might be until 31st Oct.
