Gabriel L Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 Just picked this tsuka up from Davidarmy. The fuchi is signed 壽泉美治[kao], which I translate as Jusen Yoshiharu. David had some notes on the artist: "Sakai family, was active in 1825-1850, student of Ishiguro Masayoshi." The workmanship/artistry definitely reminds one of the Ishiguro school. Masayoshi 政美 used the art names Jugakusai (寿岳斎) / Jugakusai (寿寉斎) / Jurōsai (寿老斎) / Juōsai (寿翁斎), so I presume Yoshiharu got his Yoshi 美 and Ju 寿 kanji from him. Anyone have any more info on this artist? I can find nothing online but David's Facebook listing and a Yahoo JP auction for the same tsuka.Attachments are some of David's photos, I might take some of my own later. 2 Quote
