Curran Posted August 29, 2024 Report Posted August 29, 2024 To my eyes, both appear to be the same tsuba. Different locations and photos during its 150-175 years of existing. Pinning down a specific Yoshioka generation might be as difficult as pinning down a specific Hoan attribution. Maybe there is a text or two out there that has done it, but I either (a) have not seen it or (b) do not recall it. I believe I have seen the various generations of the Yoshioka laid out before, but I am not sure if anyone has built an answer key to which one is which generation. 2 Quote
