Shuko Posted September 8 Report Posted September 8 Can anyone enlighten me on what these sukashi mean on this tsuba. Thanks Quote
Spartancrest Posted September 8 Report Posted September 8 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:花菱_Hanabishi.png This is only one of many designs used as a Kamon - Family crest. Not at all sure this is the correct one used on your tsuba. Pity about the damage to the very fine elements in the Mon design, one almost completely gone. It is said that there are 20,000 to 30,000 types of Japanese family crests! 1 1 Quote
