Kurikata Posted September 22 Report Posted September 22 I have this tsuba for years in my collection and never succeeded to determine precisely what school performed this excellent work in carving. I was hesitating between Shonaï and Hamano schools. What are your views, please? Thank you 8 Quote

Spartancrest Posted September 23 Report Posted September 23 I found this image from an old ebay sale "Copper 1800-1849 Asian Antiques" no other information on it sorry - I just thought the style and material were similar. [I think yours is far superior though] This one has a very close ura side design but the Katakiri-bori carving is a totally different technique to the omote view of Bruno's. https://www.proantic...eriod-1808-1912.html 3 1 Quote
Kurikata Posted September 23 Author Report Posted September 23 Thank you Dale. Same design indeed, same topic but different styles (schools). Quote
