There doesn't seem to be a shortage of them, There are few more pages of examples on Google. There may be some mistranslations in there, some sites say Tomihisa others say Tomoyoshi [?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 富久=とみひさ= Tomihisa. Wakayama only lists two of these artists; Tobari Tomihisa, and Kuwamura Tomihisa. Wakayama doesn't mention any Tomihisa from Chōshū, so the smith who made Ian's tsuba is a slight mystery (meikan more?). 友久 (Tomohisa) and 友義 (Tomoyoshi) are different smiths altogether. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B3HR2UH Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 Dale , you are showing pictures of tsuba by TOMOhisa wheras the question concerned TOMIhisa. Tomo and Tomi are two different characters . My tsuba is by Tomihisa and not Tomohisa who, as you have shown , is prolific. Ian 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
