Fudo Myoo tsuba

[Gunome]

Hello,

 

This is an iron tsuba with a Fudo Myoo carved. It has a mei, but it is too thin and worn to be read

 

Any opinion and/or idea about the school are welcome

 

Thanks

Hello Sebastien,

 

this is a nice Tsuba. I like that motif. The plate looks like Shoami 18th century for me.

Hello Chris,

 

Thanks for your comment.

My feeling was more on Nara group, but Shoami could also be a good call.

 

Thanks

I'd go for Nara also, specifically the Toshinaga group as in Nara Toshinaga.

Thanks Ford for your reply. I will direct my research in this direction
