WTB Akita Shoami tsuba

[kyushukairu]

I’m looking to add an Akita Shoami tsuba to my collection (though also interested in other Akita tosogu).
Must be in good condition. Preferably signed and papered. If you have something you’re willing to part with, please let me know

Kyle,

I just saw this

but unfortunately too late! Would have been a bargain, I believe!

A lot of rust on that one.

Ginza-Choshuya has a shakudo and gold papered one up on page 2 or 3 of its tsuba selection.

 Thanks Jean, I saw that one, but from the surface damage, it appears to have been in a fire. Such a shame as there is an identical design by Denbei (the Akita Shoami founder) in the Akita swords and tsuba book.

Thanks Curran. I'll take a look. They had a very large and gaudy (派手) shinchu Akita Shoami tsuba at DTI at 750,000円, which seemed like an insane price. Next to it was something which I think you'd quite appreciate (a set of etched sakura, Nishigaki fk)
