Commissioned tsuba

Recommended Posts

Tsuba was made by Manuel Corden

It arrived yesterday in a box with personalised pouch

What I liked was the flow of sukashi and evenness (but with natural variation) of the walls which has exceeded my expectations

Surface is good along with the patina which is much darker than the images

If you are interested in purchasing a tsuba, Manuel will discuss this with you and price accordingly

He will also provide you with a design prior to starting the commission

I've never met Manuel or receive any kickbacks (I thought someone may think I had a financial interest with such glowing  feedback!)

 

 

Commissioned utushi tsuba from:
Haynes Gai So Shi
Page 130
Yono naka ni, sake to sakura to,nakarisebaharuno omei wa, nozoke karamaji.
'if there was no saki and no cherry blossoms there would be no peaceful feeling in Spring,

Mei: Bushu ju Akasaka Hikojuro saku
      武州  住  赤坂    彦十郎    作

Hikojuro is from the Tadatoki group and either the 1st or 2nd master

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Manuel cut the mei to my instruction with a little modification

Front LH side = Hikojuro saku (Hikojuro saku)
Front RH 武州 住 赤坂 (Bushu ju Akasaka)

Rear LH side =  Koden 古伝
Rear RH side = utsushi (homage tsuba, made) 寫 之
