Lee Bray Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 This is the tsuba I'll be putting toward the NMB draw, viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6193, and since I know little about it, I thought your comments may assist the future owner. Thanks for any help. I believe it's Nara school, late 18th century. Iron. 83mm x 76.5mm. 5mm Dote mimi, thinner at seppa dai. 28mm nakago ana. Reasonable quality plate. Ana seem cleanly cut and finished so I assume saw and file, hence my late date attribution. Quote
Lee Bray Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 Boy...tough crowd. No one has any thoughts on this piece? Is my attribution way off? Quote
Marc BROQUIN Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Hello, I think it is a TEMBO school tsuba and certainly not a NARA one. TEMBO school tsuba are characterised by stamp marks with different kanji marks. Google TEMBO or TEMPO on the net and you will find infos. Best Marc Quote
Lee Bray Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 Hi Marc, Thanks for the tip. It certainly does appear to be Tembo school as you suggest. Quote
Rich T Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Hi all, well my guess is, based on the soft raised mimi, hammered surface and gold treatment, Aizu Shoami. Mid Edo period. Rich Quote
