Ron STL Posted March 29, 2022 Report Posted March 29, 2022 Have tried to break the mei on this iron tsuba, but struck out. This hiragana mei has stumped me. Any suggestions? Thanks. Ron STL Quote
Brian Posted March 30, 2022 Report Posted March 30, 2022 Anytime you see that pattern on a tsuba...think Eiju. They made many, many. Quote
Ron STL Posted March 30, 2022 Author Report Posted March 30, 2022 The pattern on the tsuba did look familar, I am unfamiliar with Seiryuken Eiju. Maybe I should be! I'll be seeing this tsuba again I'm sure and give it more attention. Not sure why the kao seems so "smeared." As you pointed out, Brian, I'll remember that pattern and Eiju should I come across it again. As always, thanks for helping when confused. Ron STL Quote
