Rigbone Posted August 30, 2020 Report Posted August 30, 2020 Hello All, I have recently acquired this Tsuba, can someone please help me identify the school, and age of this piece? I have tried researching them myself, but it is quite daunting. It is 5mmx79mm Thanks Quote
ROKUJURO Posted August 31, 2020 Report Posted August 31, 2020 Joe, the photos are upside-down. This looks a bit like the sad remains of a rustic iron SUKASHI TSUBA with some traits of KYO-SHOAMI school (I don't say it is KYO-SHOAMI). It is heavily corroded, and the 'treatment ' on the one side did not improve the appearance. On both sides, the soft metal application (I don't think it was gold) was lost. It might have been made in the early EDO period, so at least it is no recent cast copy, I think. If you did not pay much, it is certainly o.k. for studies. Better ones will follow as you improve your knowledge. 1 Quote

parfaitelumiere Posted September 1, 2020 Report Posted September 1, 2020 Looks like some flowers were soft metal zogan, we see the weird design on remaining iron, one on each side. Quote
