Ron STL Posted May 16, 2023 Report Posted May 16, 2023 This (Higo/Jingo style) tsuba has seal scrip style characters on one side. It would be interesting to have these understood. Anyone able to read these? Thanks, Ron STL Quote

Ron STL Posted May 16, 2023 Author Report Posted May 16, 2023 Thanks Tom, I'll check that out. One of my ex-tsuba I bought back in Chicago this show. Ron STL Quote

Ron STL Posted May 19, 2023 Author Report Posted May 19, 2023 I've been reading up on the five sacred mountain of China. While this becomes more than a translation question, does anyone understand the connection (if there is one) by the type of dragon and clouds used on this tsuba? It would seem this tsuba has a totally religion (?) or harmony, peace meaning to its once owner? Ron STL Quote
