MikeyJ Posted June 3, 2023 Report Posted June 3, 2023 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. 1 Quote
Matsunoki Posted June 4, 2023 Report Posted June 4, 2023 Probably of no interest to you but thought I’d send the link……. https://www.ebay.com/itm/295722592788?hash=item44da70aa14:g:B7cAAOSwERpkcbDN …….might be ok until something better comes along? It’s a bit cheap and cheerful! 1 Quote
MikeyJ Posted June 4, 2023 Author Report Posted June 4, 2023 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. Quote
Matsunoki Posted June 4, 2023 Report Posted June 4, 2023 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” 1 Quote
