Seeking Information About Yagami School

[zanilu]

Dear all

 

I am looking for information about Yagami School of tsuba makers, Hizen province I think.

Information in general and in particular this article:

 

   Robert Burawoy; Mitsuhiro of Hizen, identifies the three generations. Published in; Bushido, An International Journal of Japanese Arms, vol 3, No 1. Pages 18-21

 

In volume  3 number 1 of the Bushido Journal.

If any of you has access to the printed copy and is willing to share a scan of the pages from 18 to 21 I will be grateful.

 

If you happen to have other info about Yagami school or references it would be great.

Consider that I have in my library the two volume of the Tosogu Classroom translated by Markus Sesko, the Toso Kodogu Koza by Wakayama and the Nihonto Koza.

 

Than you in advance for all the info you can provide.

 

Best Regards

Luca

A few Yagami examples found in this old thread -

And just a little from the Naunton Collection.

 

" The Mitsuhiro family of Yagami in Hizen specialised in designs of the Hundred monkeys, Hundred horses, "Hundred anything", class, often very minutely and finely chased, the work of the first dating from the middle to the end of the Eighteenth Century, but that of the second Mitsuhiro being the more delicate of the two.  That style was also followed by one Taira Hattori Yoshitsugu of Nagasaki, a specimen of whose work in my possession dates from 1756.  Although less involved groups of animals had been made at a much earlier date, these three workers brought the style to an analytical perfection of technique quite peculiar to them, and the dated piece is mentioned above because some writers have placed Mitsuhiro I. circa 1800 whereas the probability is that he worked circa 1750 -1770."

 

All the best.
