When I look at it it seems to be sukashi. The book says no. I defer to the book until the author recants. You all may be right though. John

 

I think it could be one of those errata in book.......................I don't see any gold copper inlay in that tsuba or this is a lame attempt on my part to cross the 9th lap.

What a mind blowing peice of workmanship.... bottom right quarter.... did things go a little astray there? Or is that intentional or just the photo?

kapitan, just the photo, I was holding it ( the catalog ) down flat to avoid the glare from the flash.

Ed... that's great... beautiful sayagata pattern....

 

Is there any pictures of the entire koshirae?

 

I take it that is the end of the saya?

Heres some more.... just bought this sword bag....

 

was going to buy it anyway, but on closer inspection..... Then I had to buy it!!!

 

Now I am seeing this pattern everywhere, but more syagata than the raimon.

 

Cheers!!

Yes, that is a photo of the kojiri or saya butt cap. Below is a link if you want to see the whole koshirae. Unfortunately it is missing the Kurigata and Uragawara. I have been looking for those and a matching tsuba, kozuka for several years to no avail.

 

Nice material on that sword bag.

have you guys notice how the digital camera " changed " the appearance of the nanako ground ?

The close up is " true " while the pic of the whole koz shows " distortion "................ must be the same effect of wearing strips on TV.

 

p.s. a blatant attempt to push for the 10th lap.

Thaks to Vitali's ebay listings we may reach 10 Milt.

 

Another Tsuba..... this must have looked beautiful when all the fretwork showed through around the two ana.... not sure it is full sayagata, but fretwork non the less... I take it the whole tsuba was plain with the detail around the center??

 

Cheers

Hi All, Here is a fuchi, kashira and kojiri set I may purchase if the price maintains it'self. Showa period, that shows the basket weave pattern from which the sayagata pattern derived. John

that's very " under handed " to sneak by all the runners past 10 th lap with a " related " pattern !!

p.s. Kapitan, I notice that too and WAS going to snipe it............ fat chance now that you alerted all the hunters. :badgrin:

well it is plastered all over the Auctions department already, Milt.... ;)

 

I quite fancy it too!!! watching closely.

 

Actually one other tsuba on there looks to have had a raimon pattern at one time or another....

 

How was the Pie Hole work today?

I think that one is too far gone........... :?

 

My b.d. today and it's snowing like you wouldn't believe so I stayed home and sit in front of the computer playing civilisation game and , unlike soomeone that shall remain nameless, kicking the babylonians and the persians' butts .

Very nice Dirk,

 

First sayagata pattern I have seen with another design in the middle of it.... most are uniform across the peice or dissolve into raimon.

 

That is lovely.... thanks for showing it.
