Shokai tsuba help

[Novak77]

Hey all,

 

I picked this tsuba up a while back, and I believe the signature says Soju. I’ve searched on google, and have come up with very little. Hoping someone here might be able to help me figure out a bit more about this tsuba.

 

 

Cheers

Hi Ryan, have you checked out Yokotani/Yokoya Soju? 横谷宗寿

There are two artists who used the name ‘Sōjo’ [宗壽] listed in Sesko’s meikan, but the kao on your tsuba doesn’t match either.

Thank you so much. I did a google search for Yokoya Soju, and found some stuff.
 

Cheers,

Thanks for posting those pics.

 

I did a search based off Yokoya Soju, and found a Fuchi Kahsira that looks like it was signed Soju Kao.
