Tsuba Masterwork

[Mark Green]

Thanks John,

That is a nicely done copy of the original.

Is that B&W pic, a shot of the one I heard about done in iron?

Anyone got a better pic than that

Hi Mark

 

Yes the black and white pic is of the iron tsuba,

Here is some scans of some Umetada Myoju tsuba(s) I have photographs of. The first tsuba is just signed Umetada. The next two are signed Umetada Myoju. I came across them in the Token Bijutsu issue number 634. There are many more tsuba in that issue I didn't scan. Some of the works are in kinko. I was under the incorrect idea that he only worked in iron. The ones I provided are in tetsu (i.e. iron). All of them I find masterpieces. I hope they are helpful to everyone's research on the topic. Enjoy. :D
