Geraint Posted October 28, 2022 Report Posted October 28, 2022 Daer Yves. I like it, particulalry the way the floral decoration tumbles over the inner edge of the mimi in places, that adds life to the design. Also like the way the nanako follows the mokko shape in the outer area and then becomes vertical in the centre. All the best. Quote
Brian Posted October 28, 2022 Report Posted October 28, 2022 Lot of work, and some very fine nanako there. Maker was talented Quote

Chriso Posted November 14, 2022 Report Posted November 14, 2022 Absolutely beautiful, nice find. Chris O Quote
johnnyi Posted November 15, 2022 Report Posted November 15, 2022 Beautiful tsuba. Although the "fruit" bears a resemblance to what we often assume are either daikon or cloives, the vines might suggest newly formed gourds also, not unlike those on this very old kagami-shi. regards, John 1 Quote
