My guess: Ishiguro school....

[Kurikata]

Hi,

 

I have recently purchased this kozuka with no mention of school or tsubako. It is mumei. 

 

My guess is that it could be of the Ishiguro school.

 

What are your views?

 

Thank you

The nanako suggests something other than Ishiguro. What, I can't say. 

 

Enjoyable piece, thank you for sharing.

Lovely.

 

I'm getting a Ko-Kinko vibe from it.

Thank you Jeremiah and Franco for your interest in my kozuka. I hope more members will give their views on it.

@Kurikata Nice looking kozuka, love the design, thanks for sharing. It me it has an early Edo Period vibe of (Kyō-Kinkō 京金工) group to me. I not an expert when it comes to this type of Edo Period soft metal Japanese sword fittings so take what I type with a truck load of salt.

Sorry, no.  

 

Although this piece mimics mainline, the quality is not on that level.
