Dear All

 

I have recently acquired this little hamidashi tsuba from Yahoo Japan, since I liked the little fella on the mimi, even though not in my line of study right now.

Dimensions 53.4 mm  x 36.8 mm, thickness at mimi  4.6 mm, at seppa dai  4.1 mm.

Any help on attribution is really welcome.

I know that Yoshioka Inaba no Suke works sometimes have dragons wrapped around the mimi, but this does not look like their work otherwise.

Unusual and nice tsuba.

Hi Mark

 

I had the same impressions as yours. Yoshioka is know for his dragon on the edge but the style of the dragon didn't match at all.

This is the reason why I was generic in my original post.
