Bamen school tsuba

[Anthony de Vos]

Hi!

 

I wonder if someone has seen a tsuba made by tsunemasa of the bamen school?

I would love a picture if someone has.

 

Regards,

Tsunemasa seems to be the way to read 序政

Hello Anthony,

 

I remember having sold a very unusual octagonal shaped ´Bamen Tsunemasa´ in 2016 to a NMB member ... have a look at #11 in my post ´Downsizing #5´

That old thread that Hamfish references is a good read, and at the end Markus weighs in.

Not listed in my Japanese Kinko book under Tsunemasa.

 

You can only find 馬面序政 under Nobumasa.

Hi!

 

Thanks everyone for informations, links and inputs. Very appreciated.

Since I have a couple of Bamen kabuto this smith interest me. I haven't been much into tosogu but this might make me to cross over to the dark side.   

 

Regards,
