Omori Teruhide...again

[Pete Klein]

Steve -- those are the same tsuba. The exact same water drop is missing in both and all the seppa dai / nakago ana characteristics are identical.

Here comes a new pic with "your" and "my" Tsuba. I don't remember from which book I have it.When I was creating my private Tosogo-mei.database,now with around 5000 entries..

Likely the tsuba in Ludolf's database is the MFA one. At least now you know the source Ludolf

When you say "I had it papered" I assume now that you meant in your notes on this one, you had it down as papered?

 

Regards,

Brian

 

Edit to add: That sounds like a great database you have created there. Hope oneday you will consider putting it online

I have a wakizashi with fuchi kashira signed Omori Teruhide. The design is a dragon emerging from waves.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on the validity of the mei?

 

Thanks,

Thanks for that Ludolf. Very interesting...that one is signed on the left of the seppa dai and you say it papered to Omori Teruhide?

I wish this set were mine instead of posting for someone else :lol:

 

Here is some more info from the owner. This isn't just a tsuba..it is a daisho of 2 x tsuba, 2 x fuchi and kashira sets, 1 x kozuka and 1 x kogai Menuki are gold crayfish and likely another good school.

These are the only pics I have for now. Some variances in the mei on the various fittings. Workmanship on all looks very good indeed. The owner sends his thanks for the comments and assistance so far.

Thank you Brian for posting the whole set of tosogu. They are wonderful even if they are gimei.

 

Yours truly,

Sketchy imo. Pics of workmanship?

Just for reference, this one is papered.

Hi Martin, thanks for refresher link. For some odd reason I had remembered this set somewhat differently, a demonstration of how our perspective changes with experience and time.
