Jorgensen Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 A Myochin Mokume Tachibana tsuba Asking price: $475 (or best offer) Buy or make offer here: https://tsubashi.com...ume-tachibana-tsuba/ Description: Iron, marugata, mokume (wood-grain) pattern on the base, with symmetrical sukashi designs of Tachibana. The mokume iron base is distinctive, and hints at the Myōchin school, or perhaps one of the metalworkers from Sado Island (Sashū). The design looks to be a tachibana (citrus) flower, often used in family crests. Two hitsu ana formed by the openwork of the flowers. Mid Edo. Note: Although its school is hard to pinpoint. I think Myochin is the right attribution. I can see that wood-grain with sukashi is also a hallmark of the smiths working on Sado Island (who themselves were probably influenced by Myochin). Mei/signature: Mumei School/province: Myochin (or possibly Sado Island) Period/age: Edo Measures: 6.80 cm x 6.55 cm x 0.50 cm Certificate: No Included: NO kiri box included Quote
