Hamidashi Tsuba

[MikeyJ]

I'm looking for a Hamidashi Tsuba. Something like the image attached - iron with shakudo gold inlay. I've seen Edo era Hamidashi tsuba range in price between $100-$400 USD, depending on condition. 

 

The overall theme of the  myTanto is "rooster," so I'd love to find a tsuba a rooster or abstract motif.

Probably of no interest to you but thought I’d send the link…….

…….might be ok until something better comes along? It’s a bit cheap and cheerful!

Thanks, that's one of the items I've been watching on Ebay. I let a similar one slip away last week. I haven't been watching the market for tsuba for tanto for very long, but it seems like the Japanese dealers don't have very many listed on their websites right now.

I don’t actually think this one is Mino school…..there is a topic on this forum that discusses this maker…..can’t remember where it is….try searching for “Mr Suzuki”
