Henry Wilson Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 Any thoughts on this? I think it is very nice. http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d111397180 Quote
Martin Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 Hi Henry, pretty much gnawn away by rust I think... Quote
christianmalterre Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 Not so... Martin; not so much... interesting indeed.... Christian Quote
christianmalterre Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 Dear Henry, just have an look to this one... interesting,too-even if not exceptional but however interesting.... Quote
Mark Green Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 So Christian, You are saying that all this 'interesting stuff' going on on the left side here was made that way? Is this common for this school, or period? Why? Did he just run out of iron, or was it wabi-sabi for the times? Quote
Henry Wilson Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Posted November 27, 2010 Is this common for this school, or period? Can you answer? What school is the tsuba? And what period is it from? :D Quote
Mark Green Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 No, I couldn't read the listing. It has a Ko-Katchushi look. But it looks a bit small, and fat. And the hitsu-ana looks original to me. I don't think many, if any Ko-katchushi had any to begin with. Does the listing say what it is suspected to be. I'm sure it could be made in later times to look like that. I personally like it's look. The iron is very organic looking. Lovely in fact. What does the description say? Quote
moss Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 Hello Mark, The description says that the seller feels it is a very old piece ,but unsure. He goes on to desribe the bones visible in the iron and how it is a tasteful piece. The seller says it is the production of Kacchushi,Kanayama,or Syouami and that there is no mei. Size is 68mmX67mmX4mm Nice feel ,I would be more than happy to have that one. Cheers Moss Quote
Henry Wilson Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Posted November 28, 2010 I have a feeling it is either Owari or a Myochin. I doubt it being Katchushi or Kanayama. I think the period could well be early Edo or Momoyama max. Quote
moss Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 Gidday Henry, Was I close with the description? Seems to be moving a bit now. Cheers Moss Quote
Henry Wilson Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Posted November 28, 2010 Hi Moss From what I can understand you were pretty much bang on. Good job . It certainly is picking up. Yesterday it was 1,500 yen and I was tempted, but if other people want it so badly I must concur ... being the gentleman I am Quote
moss Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 Henry, There is something that appeals to me with this one. Shame we can't bid from Australia on Yahoo JP Cheers Moss Quote
Soshin Posted December 25, 2010 Report Posted December 25, 2010 My impression of this piece is that it likely a Edo period Katchushi tsuba. I come to this conclusion based up it thickness, overall size, and style of rim. The dote mimi and overall thickness and small size is commonly seen in Edo period Katchushi tsuba. Just my opinion. Overall I like the tsuba. Thanks for sharing Henry :D Yours truly, David Stiles Quote
