Andi B. Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 Hello all, I'm not so familiar with these micro kanji on tsuba so maybe some of you can help me identifying the characters on this piece: ...the second on the left column is probably Shoami...? Quote
Markus Posted March 17, 2010 Report Posted March 17, 2010 Hi Andi, "Only" a branch of the Shôami school is mentioned, namely: Aizu Shôami (會津正阿弥) Quote
Andi B. Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Posted March 17, 2010 Thank you Markus for the quick reply. I found this article on Shoami Tsuba including an "interesting" part regarding Aizu Shoami school (...that explains the low price...) Quote
Andi B. Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Posted March 20, 2010 ...and this site http://tsuba.jyuluck-do.com/AizuShoami.html which shows a nearly identical tsuba, so I suppose they are off-the-shelf pieces ? What's interesting, that there are two little spots on my tsuba of gold (inlay?) left on each side - Omote at 6 o'clock. Were such tsuba decorated and has anyone a picture of a better piece? Quote
