Itomagoi Posted February 28 Author Report Posted February 28 The mounted Tsuba ist from Edo-period mit Mei: Tetsujin, which translates as “the iron man”. The artist, whose family name was Aoki, was a martial artist who founded a dojo in the Kanda district of Edo. His family was known not only for their martial arts skills, but also for their skills as iron craftsmen who made both swords and tsuba. The Aoki family continued the lineage of Enmei Ryu (a martial arts style), which was also known as Enmei Jitte Ryu, Tetsujin Jitte Ryu and Tetsujin Nito Ryu. Incidentally, Enmei Ryu was the style that Miyamoto Musashi originally studied and which was founded by his grandfather. 1 Quote
Itomagoi Posted March 28 Author Report Posted March 28 One question. Have any of you ever seen an Ichihara Nagamitsu with a long signature, date and bohi? Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 Just checked old threads. Plenty of long mei, no bohi. One example of long mei, with bohi, but no date. So this one is quite rare! Good luck with the sale. 1 1 Quote
