lonely panet Posted October 29 Report Posted October 29 would this be made for a pole arm or something else? it was clearly made as a tsuba Quote
ROKUJURO Posted October 29 Report Posted October 29 Hamish, that was most probably made to fit a BOKKEN. 3 Quote
lonely panet Posted October 29 Author Report Posted October 29 Ok, bokken tsuba. You learn something new every day. Thanks again guys. Is it normal to have elaborate tsuba for a bokken? Quote
Yumso Posted October 29 Report Posted October 29 Nah, usually it's just a simple wooden tsuba. That's probably for decoration. Quote
MauroP Posted October 30 Report Posted October 30 Possibly once was a plain tsuba lately converted for a bokken use (also an explanation for the presence of hitsu-ana). Quote

Spartancrest Posted October 31 Report Posted October 31 < From this to this > https://www.jauce.com/auction/o1159132466 - cut nakago-ana and another original Heianjo "intact" https://www.cordys.c...s/AA6/catalogue/0084 No shortage of basic "stock" if you wish to tamper with them [heaven forbid!] These "modified" tsuba could be a new area of study. 2 Quote
