School

[kissakai]

I bought this tsuba today and wondered about the school. Later I'll take some better images

I did think Nara, Mino, Mito Edo

I haven't seen a Shakudo example with a Shakado rim

It is concave

Size = 59 x 51 x 5.0mm

Grev,

in my opinion it is a late EDO JIDAI TSUBA, so many 'schools' did no longer exist and worked in their pure tradition. Anyhow, you may be correct that we see influence of NARA, HAMANO or MITO here.

If my old eyes are seeing the photos correctly, your "Frutti di mare" TSUBA is bi-convex.

The tsuba is bi-convex

Initially I thought it may be sanmei but it isn't

I know these later tsuba have so many mixed school influences it can be impossible to state a school but note the influences

The shells don't have any fine detail which in its self tells a story but it is quite attractive

It still builds some back ground information
