peterd Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 Hi, i have just got my second choshu hagi tsuba. I know Hagi is a place, but is it also used by a particular school as both tsuba seem better than average. Quote
Brian Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Hagi was a town in Choshu province where I assume a lot of fittings production took place. I guess it would be a mini-school. They did some good work.I have some very nice f/k signed by a Choshu Hagi maker. Quote
Geraint Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 Wow Peter! They are both really nice but I'm in love with the butterfly! All the best. Quote

They did some good work. I have some very nice f/k signed by a Choshu Hagi maker. Without opening the books to confirm, I believe Ko-Hagi is the older term used to describe the style of tsuba that were produced in that part of Japan before the Edo period Choshu school and its various families of artists started producing what we call Choshu tsuba. That is quite a simplified version of significant changes in governance and movement of artists to the area. There are a few people on NMB that have a much deeper knowledge of the Choshu schools than I do. They do not post often, but one day you might find one of them has replied to this thread and dropped a knowledge bomb here. Quote
Pete Klein Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 Tis was on YJ recently and is papered to Ko Hagi: Quote
