max Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Hello, Can anyone tell me anything about this Tsuba? As little as I know about the swords themselves I know even less about Tsuba. Thank you, Max http://img830.imageshack.us/g/dsc04460p.jpg/ Quote
max Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Posted April 15, 2011 Can anyone even tell me approx. age or anything about this? I have zero to go off of here. Are tsuba usually sent through shinsa as much as the swords themselves are? Quote
Henry Wilson Posted April 15, 2011 Report Posted April 15, 2011 The man on the bridge is probably Benkei fighting Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who is in the air. See this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sait%C5%8D_Musashib%C5%8D_Benkei The bad news is that the quality looks very bad which makes it either a fake at worst or a very bad shiiremono (mass produced tourist souvenir) made in the Meiji period. I hope this helps. Quote
