peterd Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 Not easy i know but feel free to take a guess 7 Quote
christianmalterre Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 This is a charming one indeed! i am sorry, i never had any focus onto Kinko.... eitherway nice and authentic. Up for the Kinkoist´s Front i would say... ! ( with a good luck wish for you from mine part!) my initial guess is early to mid Nara.... Christian Quote
vajo Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 Peter its a brass Tsuba? I would go for mid to late Edo. Umetada school? 1 Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 I think Chris is right about the period, as to school I wouldn't say offhand, could be several. In addition, two things are certain it is beautiful, and it was not made circa 710-794. -S- 2 Quote
Curran Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 Owari kinko. Later half of Edo. It is a very nice example. 4 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 Yes, a beautiful tsuba. Not sure I agree with Owari, but it doesn't quite look Umetada, either. Quote
Curran Posted November 11, 2019 Report Posted November 11, 2019 Owari kinko. Not "Owari". They are in the same family, but the classifications are like second cousins in time and style. 1 Quote
MauroP Posted November 14, 2019 Report Posted November 14, 2019 I think Owari-kinkō could be a very good call. Another one could be Iyo-Shōami (they liked to repropose old-fashioned, ko-kinkō style tsuba).Here below two Iyo-Shōami (upper ones) and two Owari-kinkō tsuba. 1 Quote
