Yumso Posted September 4 Report Posted September 4 Hello NMB members, I have this shishi lion and peonies motif tsuba that has 一斎 mei on the back. However I'm having quite a trouble finding about this mei & tsuba... to be honest, <soft-metal tsuba / shishi lion and peonies motif / signed 一斎 / but doesn't seem like 一斎東明's work> is all I've found. It would be grateful if I could get some teaching from other collectors. 1 Quote
Kurikata Posted September 4 Report Posted September 4 ICHI SAI is the other name of Yoshiyuki (Haynes 12311) who worked around 1800. 1 Quote
Yumso Posted September 4 Author Report Posted September 4 Thank you everyone for your replies! I guess Yoshiyuki (Haynes 12311) is 菊岡美之(Kikuoka Yoshiyuki)? Quote

I am not really knowledgeble on tosogu but is not 1800 a bit early for this execution? It looks inline with a lot of Japanesque metalwork from 1900. Quote
Yumso Posted September 8 Author Report Posted September 8 Did bit of search and still got no clue. Can anyone help me figure if this is Edo or post-Edo work? Quote
