PhoenixDude Posted June 30, 2024 Report Posted June 30, 2024 Does anyone have any historial statistics on what tosogu have passed juyo status? I have seen posts with info on swords but it seems to me that info on juyo tosogu is pretty hard to find. Specifically wondering if there is any info on artists or schools and number of tosogu from them that have made juyo or something along that line. Quote

Fred Geyer Posted June 30, 2024 Report Posted June 30, 2024 Jay, I have a list from 3 years ago of the top 30 smiths, and the number of Juyo works by them. Anyone you looking for? Fred Geyer Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted June 30, 2024 Report Posted June 30, 2024 Glen Cordner did a great compilation for tsuba in here: You can see this list up until session 66 I shared few years ago in here. So you can search all the items you want. Unfortunately like always with so massive amount of data gathered over a long period of time there are always some errors. I have been correcting them every year when I find them, most of them have been minor mistakes but still irritating me a lot when I find them. Hopefully after the next session when we get to 70 I will have corrected most of previous mistakes and I can update the info with a current up to date file. Fittings are not my thing so there could be mistakes in names, that is why I write the Japanese characters, so they will be correct. Quote

Fred Geyer Posted June 30, 2024 Report Posted June 30, 2024 No I do not see them on my list, it starts at 12 items that have went Juyo for that smith bottom is Masaaki and goes to 74 which is Ichijo Fred Quote
Jussi Ekholm Posted June 30, 2024 Report Posted June 30, 2024 There is a Kanagu set for Sekijoken Motozane, item 121 in Jūyō session 54. It features tsuba, kozuka and fuchi & kashira. I don't think there is a single item by Ishiyama Mototada that has passed Jūyō evaluation. 1 Quote
