kissakai Posted Monday at 09:38 AM Report Posted Monday at 09:38 AM 1930M636 Jirotaro 次郎 Naokatsu 直勝 Nobuie 信家 utsushi 寫kore 之. H06661.0 Again, assuming I have the correct kanji I’d like to know why Jirotaro is on the front of this tsuba and not joined with the maker’s name 1 Quote
ROKUJURO Posted Monday at 11:09 AM Report Posted Monday at 11:09 AM Grev, I would understand this as NAOKATSU being the maker, copying a famous NOBUIE TSUBA. Quote
kissakai Posted Monday at 11:41 AM Author Report Posted Monday at 11:41 AM Thanks Jean and I agree 100% Still leaves this niggle Again, assuming I have the correct kanji I’d like to know why Jirotaro is on the front of this tsuba and not joined with the maker’s name It way be just on a whim and something I've not seen before Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted Monday at 12:08 PM Report Posted Monday at 12:08 PM Jiro (but no Taro) Naokatsu. Unless I am missing something, Nobuie is on the front of the tsuba, and the humble artist Jiro who emulated Nobuie has placed himself on the reverse, no? Quote
