Curran Posted July 22, 2022 Report Posted July 22, 2022 Finally oh finally, a tsuba that reminds me of the Arcade & Atari of my youth. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t1058204004 SPACE INVADERS! Have we seen any tsuba that remind us of the great Atari! . Perhaps a Missile Command tsuba amongst the Bushu or Choshu schools? -- Who hasn't seen a Tron tsuba at some point? A Video Pinball tsuba? 4 1 Quote
Toryu2020 Posted July 22, 2022 Report Posted July 22, 2022 Not sure about Space Invaders but that is a lovely tsuba... Quote
Brian Posted July 22, 2022 Report Posted July 22, 2022 And you thought that atari was a kantei word 2 Quote
ChrisW Posted July 22, 2022 Report Posted July 22, 2022 I'd like a Donkey Kong tsuba please! That game was one I could never quite beat. Quote

Toryu2020 Posted July 22, 2022 Report Posted July 22, 2022 I didn't say I didn't remember - I said or meant "I don't know about this having any connection to..." and please we used to have to drive 30 minutes out of town to the airport terminal just to play pong and when our five bucks in quarters was gone we had to go home! 2 Quote
Spartancrest Posted July 23, 2022 Report Posted July 23, 2022 I think you guys are living in another universe - It is obviously a Pac-Man tsuba! 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted July 23, 2022 Report Posted July 23, 2022 You want to talk about tsuba reminding you of the past - How about the old movie "Fantastic Four" [Or perhaps it is a case of Monkey-pox?] The original tsuba is 'pox free' and in the V&A. Quote
GRC Posted July 23, 2022 Report Posted July 23, 2022 Pong anyone? The ball is moving so fast it's looking a little stretched out 2 Quote
GRC Posted July 23, 2022 Report Posted July 23, 2022 donkey kong is only available as a daisho 1 1 Quote

Curran Posted July 28, 2022 Author Report Posted July 28, 2022 I enjoyed this thread. I can do without the tsuba, but do miss playing video games at the arcades. 1 Quote
GRC Posted October 4, 2022 Report Posted October 4, 2022 um... is it just me, or does anyone else see the resemblance? 3 6 Quote
GRC Posted October 8, 2022 Report Posted October 8, 2022 They're back with a new level... or maybe this tsuba was the inspiration for these classic 1980s sunglasses... needed to block out those dazzling amida-yasuri rays of course 2 Quote
