Spartancrest Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 I might kill two birds with one stone - I am looking for the type of plant this tsuba depicts - five petals, either a shrub or perhaps a vine? From the National Museum of Norway. 6 1 Quote

Matsunoki Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 Not sure why this one really appeals to me but it’s a favourite. Large katana, old plum blossom stump before the moon. Maybe because it suggests “there’s life in the old dog”🙂🙂 8 2 Quote

Spartancrest Posted October 3 Report Posted October 3 One I forgot I had - strange how I bought it at a time I was working packing poppy seed! [It has an undulating/wavy plate.] 5 Quote
