Mark Posted Wednesday at 05:00 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 05:00 PM Grey and i picked up a tsuba. We are having trouble understanding the inscription. We see left --- Masa Toshi Saku Kore so we think Masatoshi made this but i guess maybe it could be read differently like Sho??? right side -- we are lost, maybe O (Nori Toku), Aki , Hiro, Tsune ???? probably completely wrong Also we note the Hozon paper uses a different kanji for Toshi, so we are not sure if the paper uses an abbreviated form of the kanji on the tsuba or maybe the NBTHK knows who this is and the maker used this other kanji as well ?? any help appreciated, thanks Mark and Grey 2 Quote

Yumso Posted 17 hours ago Report Posted 17 hours ago 応明弘需 正寿作之 応明弘需 -> 明弘(Akihiro probably) requested this tsuba 正寿作之 -> 正寿 made this tsuba I think this is Owaza Masatoshi(小沢正寿)'s work. His way of writting 寿 is like that. https://www.e-sword....tantou/2310-3035.htm https://www.Japanese-sword-katana.jp/未分類/1610-6001.htm Quote
