Marius Posted May 23, 2024 Report Posted May 23, 2024 Gents, Looking for a small size tsuba for a tanto, something like hamidashi tsuba, it is important that it has an oblong shape, with height up to 5.6cm (give or take). Material: yamagane, copper, iron, shakudo. Up to late Edo. Maybe you have something like this gathering dust? Thanks! Quote
ChrisW Posted May 23, 2024 Report Posted May 23, 2024 What is the price range you're looking at? Open hitsu-ana, right? Any particular theme? Quote
Mark Posted May 23, 2024 Report Posted May 23, 2024 here is what i have. the one on the left maybe they style you want but i included the others just in case they are all $100-125 each Quote
ChrisW Posted May 23, 2024 Report Posted May 23, 2024 I've got one, its a bit of an odd theme: soybean on a stalk. Gold and silver leaves/stem with copper beanpod. Measures approx. 2" tall. Quote
Marius Posted May 24, 2024 Author Report Posted May 24, 2024 Grntlemen, Thank you for your response and apologies for not having indicated the level of ornamentation that I am looking for. I was aiming at the most simple tsuba, virtually free of carving or inlay. I appreciate the offers by Mark and Chris. Thank you 🙏 Quote
Marius Posted May 24, 2024 Author Report Posted May 24, 2024 I can now narrow it down: a simple and oblong suaka tsuba devoid of any ornamental features. Thank you 😊 1 Quote
Marius Posted June 1, 2024 Author Report Posted June 1, 2024 Oh, FYI, I have found what I wanted. Thanks again for your kind help! 2 Quote
