KungFooey Posted November 19 Report Posted November 19 (edited) I posted this guard on 'Translation Assistance' but the signing is just TOO faint to read - even with talc. So, I was hoping someone could suggest a possible school? Height: 7.4cm, width: 7.2cm, thickness: 6mm and weight: 215g It's pierced with 'snow flowers' and also has 'mokume hada' (appreciate you teaching me that!) Thanks in advance, Dee Edited November 19 by KungFooey Extra info 1 Quote
SteveM Posted November 19 Report Posted November 19 Myōchin is another possibility. Either Myōchin main line, or some later artist working in Myōchin style. They did this sort of mokume (wood-grain pattern) tsuba. https://www.nipponto...swords6/TB202360.htm https://www.e-sword.jp/tsuba/1710-6011.htm https://japaneseswor...suba-signed-myochin/ 3 Quote
