Japan2112 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Posted February 26, 2021 Hi everyone, I just received a nice TBH Akasaka (rokudai) tsuba from Japan. Attached to its box's inner lid is a sticker with kanji that I would appreciate some help in translating. I have attached an image of the sticker and of the tsuba. Of interest, the hako is kiri but has a clear varnish finish applied to the exterior-. something I had not seen before. Thanks for any help. Quote
