Spartancrest Posted August 8, 2021 Report Posted August 8, 2021 Anyone seen a fuchi constructed in this way? https://www.jauce.com/auction/l691653972 1 Quote
kyushukairu Posted August 8, 2021 Report Posted August 8, 2021 I had not seen a fuchi like this before and it caught my attention when I first encountered it. Myochin were of course armourers and also produced tsuba with overlapping plates to simulate armour (see picture below), which this Fuchi (and a kashira) may have been designed to accompany. It’s a shame the kashira is missing, otherwise I would have bought it when I seen it (the seller is an acquaintance of mine whom I visit every month) Image of the Myochin tsuba is from Nihonto.us - http://www.nihonto.us/MYOCHIN NOBUYOSHI TSUBA.htm 3 1 Quote
