Higo-san Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 Dear all I would like to part with a nice early Tempo/Tembo/Tenpo tsuba. The kokuin stamp used to create the surface pattern has a kiri design. The quality of the iron is good and the lamination can be seen in the nagako and hitsu-ana. Finally, the tsuba has a Sukidashi-mimi. If you want to learn more about Tempo tsuba, there is a well written article about Tempo Tsuba by Malcolm E. Cox available in the Download Section. Dimensions: Tsuba: 8.09 cm x 8.16 cm x 0.3 cm Nakago-ana: 3.36 cm x 1.01 cm (widest point) Asking price: EUR 170.00 Shipping costs including tracking and insurance are: Germany EUR 6.99 EU EUR 16.49 UK EUR 26.99 Worldwide EUR 47.99 Best Chris 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curran Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 Nice. The Kiri stamps remind me of the Goto Ichijo kinko ones we'd see a few centuries later. Interesting to see "an original" Tempo iron one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higo-san Posted July 22 Author Report Share Posted July 22 Thanks Jean - although I doubt that this would have made any difference. Again, another very lucky buyer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
